SIBI-P1 G1325-49
they were giving
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense, active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person plural (Gr,V,IIA3,,P,). The imperfect denotes continuous or repeated past action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root δίδωμι means "to give" or "to grant." The imperfect active indicative (3rd person plural) expresses continuous or repeated action in past time, so "they were giving" preserves both the core meaning of the verb and its ongoing past aspect in active voice. |
