the one steadfastly-adhering-toward

Morphological NotesVerb; present active participle; nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PPA,NMS). Denotes continuous or ongoing action carried out by a masculine singular subject functioning substantivally or adjectivally.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering preserves the compound sense of πρός (toward) and καρτερέω (to be steadfast, endure), expressing persistent, directed devotion. As a present active participle nominative masculine singular, it is rendered as "the one ... -ing," indicating an ongoing action performed by a masculine singular subject.
