SIBI-P1 G1344-06
to declare-righteous
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active infinitive (Gr,V,NAA). The aorist presents the action as a whole or simple event; active voice indicates the subject performs the action; infinitive expresses verbal action abstractly ("to …"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "to declare-righteous" preserves the root connection to δίκαιος (righteous/just) while reflecting the aorist active infinitive form—expressing the simple act of declaring or rendering someone righteous. The infinitive "to declare" maintains the verbal force without adding tense beyond the Greek aorist’s undefined, complete aspect. |
