SIBI-P1 G3306-22
the remaining one/thing (presently abiding)
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle (PPA). Forms include nominative masculine singular (μένων, "the one remaining"), nominative neuter singular (μένον, "the remaining thing"), and accusative neuter singular (μένον, "the remaining thing" as object). The present tense indicates ongoing action; active voice shows the subject performing the action of remaining. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core sense of μένω as "remain" or "abide" while reflecting the present active participle form (ongoing action). Because the forms include nominative masculine singular and nominative/accusative neuter singular, "the remaining one/thing" captures the gender and case distinctions while maintaining the participial force of continuous abiding. |
