ouranios describes a Father, army, or vision in relation to heaven in the attested verses.

The attested use most often qualifies the Father in sayings about forgiveness, provision, knowledge, perfection, and judgment; it also describes an army and a vision in relation to heaven.

Senses in use

  1. In relation to heaven · dominant

    The nominative singular masculine form occurs with the Father in clauses about planting in Matthew 15:13, forgiving in Matthew 6:14, and feeding the birds in Matthew 6:26. The other attested forms describe the army in Luke 2:13 and the vision in Acts 26:19; in those verses the APB renders “the heavenly army” and “the heavenly vision.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB regularly presents the adjective with “Father” in the Matthew verses, and it uses “heavenly” for the army in Luke 2:13 and the vision in Acts 26:19. These renderings confirm the verse-level presentation rather than establish a separate English equivalent in every clause.
