SIBI-P1 G4576-03
the revering-for-themselves (feminine plural, accusative)
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present middle participle, accusative feminine plural (Gr,V,PPM,AFP). The present tense indicates ongoing action; middle voice conveys personal involvement or self-engagement; participle functions adjectivally or substantivally; accusative feminine plural agrees with a feminine plural noun or functions substantivally as a feminine plural object. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core idea of reverent devotion inherent in σέβομαι while reflecting its middle voice nuance (“for themselves,” indicating personal engagement or self-involved reverence). The present participle conveys ongoing action (“revering”), and the accusative feminine plural form is explicitly noted to maintain grammatical accuracy. |
