SIBI-P1 G2192-04
you are holding
| Root | ἔχω (echō) |
| Core Meanings | hold, have, possess, keep, maintain, be in a state |
| Semantic Range | to possess or own; to hold physically; to maintain or keep; to be in a certain condition; to be able; to regard or consider; to sustain a relationship |
| Conceptual Significance | ἔχω functions as a foundational verb of possession and condition in the Greek New Testament, expressing not only material ownership but relational, spiritual, and moral states (e.g., having faith, holding authority, being in a condition). It often frames responsibility and ongoing reality in covenantal and communal contexts. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present active indicative; 2nd person singular (Gr,V,IPA2,,S,). Indicates a current, ongoing action or state performed by the one addressed. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active indicative, second person singular form denotes an ongoing, active state performed by the addressee. "You are holding" preserves the core sense of ἔχω as active possession or maintenance while reflecting the present tense (continuous aspect), active voice, and singular "you." |
