SIBI-P1 Translation G4281-03
having gone before
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed action), active voice, participle; nominative masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active participle denotes a completed action of going before or preceding. "Having gone before" preserves the root sense of movement (ἐρχ-) with the prefixed idea of "before" (προ-) and reflects the nominative masculine plural participial form. |
