SIBI-P1 Translation G2192-10
we have
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active indicative, 1st person plural (Gr,V,IPA1,,P,) — denotes ongoing action or state performed by "we." |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active indicative, first person plural form denotes an ongoing or current state of possession or holding by "we." "We have" best preserves the core idea of possession inherent in ἔχω while reflecting present tense and active voice. |
