SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
who are ours
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'those who are ours' adds 'those'; the Greek is literally 'ours'. In context, as an attributive adjective connected to 'the ones', 'who are ours' preserves the possessive relationship and fits the Greek more naturally than 'those who are ours'. |
