SIBI-P1 G3982-31

the having-been-persuaded one

Morphological NotesGr,V,PEA,NMS = Verb, Perfect Active Participle, Nominative Masculine Singular. Perfect tense indicates completed action with present results; active voice in form; participle functioning adjectivally or substantivally; nominative masculine singular agrees with a male subject.
Rendering RationaleThe perfect tense conveys a completed act of persuasion with a continuing state of settled trust or confidence. As a nominative masculine singular perfect active participle, it describes a specific male subject characterized by having been persuaded and thus now standing in confidence. The rendering preserves both the root idea of persuasion (πείθω) and the resulting enduring state implied by the perfect.
