SIBI-P1 Translation G563-01
without distraction
| Morphological Notes | Adverb (Gr,D): modifies a verb to express manner; no inflection for case, gender, or number. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adverb combines the negative prefix ἀ- with περισπάω (to draw away, distract), expressing manner: acting in a state of not being pulled away by competing concerns. "Without distraction" preserves both the root idea of being drawn away and the adverbial force. |
