those attentively observing
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing action), active voice, participle; nominative masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle nominative masculine plural denotes ongoing action performed by masculine plural subjects. "Those attentively observing" preserves the participial force and reflects the root sense of sustained, evaluative watching inherent in θεωρέω. |
