SIBI-P1 G1247-17

he served-attending

Morphological NotesVerb, aorist, active, indicative, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IAA3,,S,). The aorist expresses a completed action in past time; active voice indicates the subject performed the action.
Rendering RationaleThe verb διακονέω denotes active, practical service or attendance to another’s needs. Rendering it as "he served-attending" preserves the root sense of hands-on service while reflecting the aorist active indicative, third person singular—indicating a simple, completed act performed by him.
