SIBI-P1 Translation G1097-28
one coming to know
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PPA,NMS); denotes an ongoing action functioning adjectivally or substantivally. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle expresses ongoing action, so "coming to know" reflects the process-oriented sense of the γνω- root. The nominative masculine singular form is conveyed as "one" who is in the state of actively acquiring or possessing knowledge. |
