SIBI-P1 Translation G178-01
not condemned
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, accusative masculine singular (Gr,AA,,,,AMS); attributive form modifying a masculine singular noun in the accusative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the alpha-privative sense of being without condemnation or adverse judgment, directly reflecting the root κρι- (“to judge, condemn”). As an accusative masculine singular adjective, it describes a single male individual as being in a state of lacking official condemnation. |
