SIBI-P1 G1492-22
we have-seen-and-know
| Morphological Notes | Verb; perfect (stative) active indicative, 1st person plural. Though perfect in form, it commonly functions with a present sense of settled knowledge derived from prior perception. |
| Rendering Rationale | εἴδω is a verb of seeing that, in its perfect form, carries a present state of knowledge resulting from prior perception. The rendering "we have-seen-and-know" preserves the perfect active indicative (completed action with abiding result) and the first person plural, showing that our present knowledge stands upon what has been seen. |
