SIBI-P1 Translation G2872-04
they have toiled
| Morphological Notes | Verb; perfect tense, active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person plural — completed action with ongoing result performed by them. |
| Rendering Rationale | The perfect active indicative third plural denotes a completed action with continuing results, hence "they have toiled," expressing sustained strenuous effort with present consequence. "Toiled" preserves the root sense of laborious exertion tied to κόπος (toil, hardship). |
