SIBI-P1 G1510-32

the being-one (present active participle, nominative masculine singular)

Morphological NotesGr,V,PPA,NMS = verb, present tense (ongoing), active voice, participle, nominative masculine singular. From εἰμί (to be). Other listed forms (e.g., ὃν, ὧν) belong to the relative pronoun ὅς (G3739), accusative masculine singular or genitive plural, but ὢν specifically parses as a present active participle of εἰμί.
Rendering RationaleThe form ὢν is the present active participle of εἰμί, nominative masculine singular, indicating ongoing existence or state. "The being-one" preserves the durative present sense (ongoing being) and reflects its masculine singular nominative form, often functioning substantivally as a title or identifier.
