SIBI-P1 G5463-07
the one rejoicing
| Root | χαίρω (chairō) |
| Core Meanings | rejoice, be glad, be well, delight, express joy, greeting |
| Semantic Range | to experience joy, to be glad, to delight in, to thrive or be well, to express joy in greeting or farewell |
| Conceptual Significance | χαίρω expresses both inner gladness and outward expressions of joy, frequently marking divine blessing, salvation, or proper response to God’s work. As a participle, it can characterize a person by a continual posture of joy, reflecting a key New Testament theme of enduring rejoicing in the Lord. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PPA,NMS). The participle denotes continuous or ongoing action and functions substantivally here as "the one who is rejoicing." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form χαίρων is a present active participle, nominative masculine singular, so "the one rejoicing" preserves the ongoing aspect (present), the active voice, and the masculine singular subject implied by the nominative participle. This rendering maintains the root sense of gladness or expressed joy inherent in χαίρω. |
