SIBI-P1 G191-49
you all were hearing
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense (past ongoing), active voice, indicative mood; 2nd person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root sense of ἀκούω as “to hear” while reflecting the imperfect tense (ongoing or repeated past action), active voice, and second person plural form. “You all were hearing” makes explicit the plural audience and the continuous aspect conveyed by the imperfect. |
