SIBI-P1 G3004-26

he/she/it has laid-forth (in word)

Rootλέγω (legō)
Core Meaningsto say, to speak, to lay forth, to relate, to declare, to account
Semantic Rangeto say, to declare, to recount, to assert, to command, to name, to mean, to state formally or authoritatively
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical usage, λέγω often introduces authoritative speech—whether divine pronouncement, prophetic declaration, or apostolic teaching. The perfect form can underscore the enduring validity of what has been spoken, especially when referring to Scripture or the words of God.
Morphological NotesVerb; perfect tense, active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular. The perfect denotes a completed act with continuing relevance or result in the present.
Rendering RationaleThe verb λέγω fundamentally means to "lay forth" in speech. The perfect active indicative, third person singular (IEA3,S) conveys a completed act with abiding result, so "has laid-forth" reflects both the root imagery and the present force of something spoken that now stands as stated.
