Étymologie: κληρονόμος.
English (Strong)
from κληρονόμος; heirship, i.e. (concretely) a patrimony or (genitive case) a possession: inheritance.
English (Thayer)
κληρονομίας, ἡ (κληρονόμος), the Sept. time and again for נַחֲלָה, several times for יְרֵשָׁה, מורָשָׁה, etc.;
1. an inheritance, property received (or to be received) by inheritance, (Isocrates, Demosthenes, Aristotle): a possession (cf. English inheritance); see κληρονομέω, 2): διδόναι τί τίνι κληρονομίαν, λαμβάνειν τί εἰς κληρονομίαν, Aristotle, eth. Nic. 7,14, p. 1153b, 33)). Agreeably to the O. T. usage, which employs נַחֲלָה now of the portion of the holy land allotted to each of the several tribes (κληρονομέω, 2), the noun κληρονομία, lifted to a loftier sense in the N. T., is used to denote a. "the eternal blessedness in the consummated kingdom of God which is to be expected after the visible return of Christ": τῆς κληρονομίας, genitive of apposition (Winer's Grammar, § 59,8a.)); ἡμῶν, destined for us, τοῦ Θεοῦ, given by God, 18.
b. the share which an individual will have in that eternal blessedness: Ephesians 5:5.
