SIBI-P1 G1282-01

they were being sawn-through

Morphological NotesVerb; imperfect tense (ongoing past action), passive voice (the subject receives the action), indicative mood (statement of fact), 3rd person plural ("they").
Rendering RationaleThe rendering preserves the root imagery of being "sawn through" (from δια- intensifying πρίω, to saw) while reflecting the imperfect passive indicative, third person plural—an ongoing past action done to them. The hyphenated form retains the vivid cutting imagery inherent in the Greek verb.
