SIBI-P1 G3689-01
of the being-one
| Morphological Notes | Gr,V,PPA,GMS = verb, present active participle, genitive masculine singular; from εἰμί (to be). Functions adjectivally or substantivally ("of the one who is / of the being one"). The related form ὄντως is an adverb derived from the participial stem, meaning "truly" or "really." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form ὄντος is the present active participle, genitive masculine singular of εἰμί ("to be"). "Of the being-one" preserves the present, ongoing sense of existence (present active participle) and the genitive case, indicating possession, source, or description, while keeping the root idea of active existence. |
