SIBI-P1 Translation G770-10
of those being weak
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, genitive masculine plural (Gr,V,PPA,GMP); denotes ongoing state or condition, modifying a masculine plural noun in the genitive case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle conveys ongoing action or state, and the genitive masculine plural form requires "of those." "Being weak" reflects the root meaning of lacking strength or power without narrowing it to physical illness alone. |
