SIBI-P1 Translation G27205-01
he was continually speaking-good-upon
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense (ongoing/repeated past action), active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular. The imperfect highlights continuous or iterative action in past time. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb combines κατά (down/upon, often intensifying) with εὐλογέω (to speak well, to bless, from εὖ "good" and λόγος "word"). Rendering it as "speaking-good-upon" preserves the root idea of verbal blessing, while "was continually" reflects the imperfect active indicative, 3rd person singular—an ongoing or repeated action in past time. |
