SIBI-P1 Translation G4238-18
to the one practicing
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, dative masculine singular (Gr,V,PPA,DMS): denoting an ongoing, active doer/practitioner addressed or referred to in the dative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle conveys ongoing or habitual action, and the dative masculine singular form indicates "to/for the one" engaged in such practice. "Practicing" preserves the root sense of repeated or patterned action inherent in πράσσω. |
