SIBI-P1 G2476-13
the ones having taken their stand
| Morphological Notes | Verb, perfect tense, active voice, participle; nominative masculine plural (Gr,V,PEA,NMP). The perfect stem (ἑστηκ-) conveys a present state resulting from a prior act of standing or being set. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form ἑστηκότες is a perfect active participle, nominative masculine plural, indicating a completed act of standing with an ongoing resultant state. "The ones having taken their stand" preserves the perfect aspect (completed action with present standing condition), the active voice, and the plural masculine nominative function, while keeping the root idea of standing or being set in place. |
