SIBI-P1 Translation G1831-17
I went out
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple past), active voice, indicative mood, 1st person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active indicative, first person singular, denotes a simple completed action performed by the subject. "I went out" preserves the outward movement inherent in ἐκ + ἔρχομαι and reflects the completed aspect of the aorist. |

going out
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
