having changed themselves
| Morphological Notes | Verb, aorist, middle voice, participle, nominative masculine plural — describing masculine plural subjects who have undergone a completed change in themselves. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist middle participle denotes a completed act of change performed with reference to oneself. "Having changed themselves" preserves the reflexive middle voice and the completed aspect of the aorist while reflecting the root idea of causing a change. |
