SIBI-P1 G4043-19
the man who is walking about
| Root | περιπατέω (peripateō) |
| Core Meanings | walk around, tread about, conduct one’s life, live, comport oneself |
| Semantic Range | to walk around physically, to move about freely, to conduct one’s life, to live or behave in a certain way, to follow a path or way of life |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, "walking" often signifies one’s manner of life or covenantal conduct. To "walk about" can denote daily behavior before God, embodying obedience, faithfulness, or moral direction rather than mere physical movement. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PPA,NMS). Present tense indicates ongoing action; active voice shows the subject performing the action; participle functions adjectivally or substantivally; nominative masculine singular agrees with a masculine singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle conveys ongoing action, so "who is walking" reflects continuous movement or conduct. The nominative masculine singular form is represented by "the man," preserving both gender and number while maintaining the root sense of walking about (περί + πατέω, to tread around). |
