kleronomia denotes an inheritance received, promised, or claimed as a possession, including land and a lasting share among the holy ones.

The term most often denotes a promised or received share associated with God, the holy ones, redemption, or reward; it also refers to an estate or land possession that may be divided, received, or seized.

1. Promised or received share · dominant

   In 1 Peter 1:4 the accusative singular occurs in a clause directed toward something described as incorruptible, pure, unfading, and kept in heaven. In Acts 20:32, Colossians 3:24, Ephesians 1:14, Galatians 3:18, and Hebrews 9:15, the APB presents this share as given among sanctified people, received as a reward, connected with promise, or described as eternal.

2. Estate or land possession · common

   In Acts 7:5 and Hebrews 11:8, the accusative singular is used where a place is promised or received as a possession. In Luke 12:13 the APB renders a request to divide it between brothers, while Matthew 21:38, Mark 12:7, and Luke 20:14 place it in the farmers' plan to obtain what belongs to the heir.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB repeatedly uses “inheritance,” while expanding the surrounding clauses with expressions such as “the reward of the inheritance” in Colossians 3:24 and “the promised eternal inheritance” in Hebrews 9:15. These phrases show the verse-level presentation rather than fixed renderings of the term.
