SIBI-P1 G3708-13
you (plural) have seen and stand having seen
| Root | ὁράω (horaō) |
| Core Meanings | to see, to behold, to perceive, to discern, to experience, to attend to |
| Semantic Range | physical sight, attentive observation, mental perception, recognition, discernment, experiential knowledge, realization |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, ὁράω often moves beyond physical sight to experiential and spiritual perception. The perfect form frequently underscores abiding witness—those who "have seen" are marked by enduring knowledge or testimony grounded in that encounter. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb; perfect tense (completed action with ongoing result), active voice, indicative mood, 2nd person plural. From ὁράω, with perfect stem ἑωρα-. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is in the perfect active indicative, second person plural, expressing a completed act with continuing results. "Have seen and stand having seen" preserves the perfect aspect—indicating that the seeing occurred and its effect remains—while reflecting the active voice and plural address. |
