SIBI-P1 G4281-03

the ones having gone forward

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist active participle; nominative masculine plural. The aorist participle denotes completed action relative to the main verb, describing masculine plural subjects who have gone forward.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering preserves the compound sense of πρό (forward/before) + ἔρχομαι (to come/go) as "go forward." The aorist active participle is reflected by "having gone," indicating completed action prior to the main verb, and the nominative masculine plural form is conveyed by "the ones."
