SIBI-P1 Translation G615-05
he put to death
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple completed action), active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active indicative, third person singular, denotes a simple completed action in past time: "he put to death." The rendering preserves the intensified force of ἀπό + κτείνω, conveying decisive, completed killing rather than mere injury. |
