SIBI-P1 G4100-35
those who are trusting
| Root | πιστεύω (pisteuō) |
| Core Meanings | to trust, to have faith, to rely upon, to entrust oneself |
| Semantic Range | to believe as true, to trust in or rely upon someone, to entrust oneself to, to commit something into another’s care |
| Conceptual Significance | πιστεύω is central to covenantal and salvific language in the Greek Scriptures, expressing relational trust and faithful reliance rather than mere intellectual assent. It denotes active dependence upon God or the Messiah, marking identity and allegiance within the believing community. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, accusative masculine plural (Gr,V,PPA,AMP). The form denotes an ongoing action performed by masculine plural subjects functioning in the accusative case within the sentence. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the present active participle, indicating ongoing action (“are trusting”), and preserves the root sense of placing trust or faith in someone. The masculine plural participle is conveyed by “those,” referring to a group characterized by active trust. |
