SIBI-P1 Translation G3708-15
he has seen
| Morphological Notes | Verb; perfect tense, active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular — denotes a completed action with continuing result. |
| Rendering Rationale | The perfect active indicative expresses a completed act of seeing with present result, thus "has seen." This preserves the primary root sense of physical sight while allowing for the extended sense of perception inherent in ὁράω. |
