καθαρὸν (katharon) in Revelation 22:1: Adjective Accusative Singular Masculine

Adjective: the word describes a noun by qualifying it as clean, pure, or unstained in a given context.

Accusative: the form normally marks a direct object or a closely related complement, depending on the clause pattern.

Singular: the form is grammatically singular here, matching a single item being described in the sentence.

Masculine: the form uses the masculine grammatical class in agreement, which by itself does not make a theological claim about sex or personhood.

ποταμὸν ὕδατος ζωῆς

The adjective agrees with ποταμὸν in case, number, and gender, so it modifies the river John is shown.

It describes the river of the water of life as clean or pure, sharpening the vision's image of life-giving clarity.

It does not name a separate entity, and the adjective alone does not define why the river is pure apart from the vision.

High: The accusative adjective agrees with the river and directly shapes the vision's purity imagery.

Attributive adjective modifying ποταμὸν. describes the river of water of life as clean or pure. Attached to ποταμὸν καθαρὸν. Governed by agreement with the accusative singular masculine noun ποταμὸν.

What is described as pure? The adjective modifies the river, presenting the river of life as pure or clean.

Direct: The adjective directly supports rendering the river as 'pure' or 'clean'.

The adjective describes the river and should not be detached as a separate symbol. Purity language should be explained from Revelation 22:1 rather than from adjective agreement alone. Masculine agreement follows ποταμὸν and is not a gender claim.

Agreement creates a separate theological symbol: Agreement shows what the adjective modifies; the passage determines how purity imagery should be taught. grammatical gender carries a theological claim: The gender label describes Greek form class or agreement and should not be made into a separate doctrinal claim.

The witness reads καθαρὸν in Revelation 22:1 with the morphology label "Adjective Accusative Singular Masculine"; this guide is limited to that exact occurrence in the Textus Receptus witness.

The lemma καθαρος means clean or pure, in literal or figurative senses, so the form contributes that quality to the river phrase.

Because it agrees with ποταμον, the adjective naturally modifies the river rather than standing as an independent idea, and the context presents a vision of the river's character.

The verse portrays a river of life as clean or pure, along with its brightness and heavenly source.

The wording fits the passage's wider imagery of holy life and divine clarity without forcing the adjective into a technical doctrinal claim.

In communication, the form helps readers hear the river as marked by purity, not merely as a generic stream.

Do not infer from the grammar alone that the form defines a separate symbol, a moral category, or a doctrine beyond the context of the vision.
