SIBI-P1 Translation G4100-33
the one trusting
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PPA,NMS); denotes ongoing action, functioning substantivally in masculine singular form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle denotes ongoing action, and the nominative masculine singular form functions substantivally as "the one who is trusting." This preserves the continuous aspect of present tense and the active voice sense of exercising trust or belief. |
