SIBI-P1 Translation G679-01
unstumbling ones
| Morphological Notes | Adjective used substantively; accusative masculine plural (AMP). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the alpha-privative sense of “not stumbling” from πταίω (to stumble, err) and reflects the accusative masculine plural substantive adjective as referring to multiple persons characterized by being without stumbling. |
