SIBI-P1 G3539-06
we are minding
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active indicative, 1st person plural (Gr,V,IPA1,,P,). The present tense indicates ongoing or continuous action; active voice shows the subject performing the action; indicative mood presents it as a factual statement. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "we are minding" preserves the connection to νοῦς (mind) and reflects the present active indicative, first person plural form—an ongoing action performed by "we." It keeps the cognitive, active sense of exercising the mind rather than a static state. |
