SIBI-P1 Translation G4909-03

jointly approving

Morphological NotesVerb, present active participle, nominative masculine singular; denotes ongoing action performed by a male subject functioning adjectivally or substantivally.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "jointly approving" preserves the compound sense of σύν (together) and εὐδοκέω (to approve, be well pleased), expressing shared or collective approval. The present active participle, nominative masculine singular, is reflected as an ongoing, active descriptor: "one who is jointly approving."
