SIBI-P1 Translation G544-04
refusing to be persuaded
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present active participle; accusative masculine singular — indicating an ongoing or characteristic action describing a masculine singular object. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle denotes an ongoing state or characteristic action. "Refusing to be persuaded" preserves the root sense of resisting persuasion (πειθ-) with the privative ἀ-, emphasizing willful unpersuasion rather than mere disbelief. |
