SIBI-P1 Translation G3679-06
of those reproaching
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present active participle; genitive masculine plural (Gr,V,PPA,GMP) — indicating ongoing action performed by masculine plural subjects in the genitive case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle conveys ongoing action—"reproaching"—while the genitive masculine plural form is reflected by "of those," preserving both case and number. The rendering maintains the root sense of subjecting someone to verbal shame or insult. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
reproaching
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | SIBI-P1 'of those reproaching' improperly includes 'of', which is already provided by the preceding genitive article; 'reproaching' as a participle modifying 'the ones' is correct here. |
