SIBI-P1 G1282-01
they were being sawn-through
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense (ongoing past action), passive voice (the subject receives the action), indicative mood (statement of fact), 3rd person plural ("they"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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. |
