SIBI-P1 G2925-02

to be knocking

Morphological NotesVerb; present tense (ongoing aspect), active voice, infinitive mood. The present infinitive emphasizes continuous or repeated action.
Rendering RationaleThe present active infinitive form conveys an ongoing or continuous action rather than a single completed act. Rendering it as "to be knocking" preserves the durative aspect of the present tense while maintaining the active voice and infinitive mood of the Greek.
