one doing good works
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, nominative masculine singular; denotes an ongoing action describing a male subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle denotes an ongoing action, and the nominative masculine singular form identifies a single male subject characterized by this activity. "One doing good works" preserves the compound sense of performing beneficial deeds (ἀγαθός + ἔργον) while reflecting the participial form. |
