SIBI-P1 G5623-03
you (plural) were being benefited
| Morphological Notes | Verb, imperfect passive indicative, 2nd person plural (Gr,V,IPA2,,P,). The imperfect denotes continuous or repeated action in past time; passive voice indicates the subject receives the action; indicative mood states a fact. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core idea of usefulness or profit inherent in ὠφελέω by using "benefited." The imperfect tense is reflected by "were being," indicating ongoing past action, and the passive voice is maintained by making the subject receive the benefit. The second person plural is explicitly marked as "you (plural)." |
