SIBI-P1 Translation G568-09
they have in full
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active indicative, 3rd person plural (Gr,V,IPA3,,P,) — denotes ongoing action performed by "they." |
| Rendering Rationale | In the present active indicative, third person plural, the verb denotes an ongoing active state. In its active sense, ἀπέχω means to have or receive in full measure, so "they have in full" preserves both the root idea of holding and the compound sense of having something fully away or settled. |
