SIBI-P1 G3140-16
having borne witness
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active participle; nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PAA,NMS). The aorist denotes a completed action, active voice indicates the subject performs the action, and the participle functions adjectivally or adverbially in relation to a masculine singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "having borne witness" preserves the root connection to μάρτυς (witness) by retaining explicit witness language rather than a generalized "testified." The aorist active participle is reflected by "having borne," indicating a completed act prior to the main verb, and the nominative masculine singular form implies it modifies a masculine singular subject. |
