ὃν
hós
one
A relative pronoun introducing clauses that refer back to a previously mentioned noun or idea ('who,' 'which,' 'that'); used to relate additional information, qualify, or give a description about the antecedent. The core function is to establish a relationship between the antecedent and the relative clause. Sometimes with demonstrative force in certain poetic or elevated registers. In rare constructions, may also be used in indirect questions, or as a connector where a relative sense is implied.

SIBI-P1 Translation G3739-11
being
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PPA,NMS); denotes ongoing action/state functioning adjectivally or substantivally. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle nominative masculine singular form ὢν denotes ongoing existence or state in a masculine singular subject role. "Being" preserves the continuous present aspect and participial force without adding contextual elements. |
