the ones being

Morphological NotesVerb; present active participle; nominative masculine plural (Gr,V,PPA,NMP). It agrees with a masculine plural subject and can function adjectivally or substantivally as "those who are."
Rendering Rationaleὄντες is the present active participle, nominative masculine plural of εἰμί, expressing ongoing existence or state. "The ones being" preserves the continuous aspect of the present participle and reflects its nominative masculine plural form, often functioning substantivally to describe a group characterized by their present state of existence.
