SIBI-P1 Translation G4254-09
of the one leading ahead
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present active participle; genitive feminine singular (Gr,V,PPA,GFS) — indicating an ongoing action attributed to a feminine singular referent in the genitive case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle conveys ongoing action, and the genitive feminine singular form requires a rendering that reflects possession or relation. "Leading ahead" preserves the core sense of προ- (before) + ἄγω (to lead). |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
of the preceding
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'of the one leading ahead' is too literal in the context of 'commandment' (preceding commandment is the meaning); 'of the preceding' reflects the established contextual use referring to something previous. |
