Lemmaἐπιτιμάω

SIBI-P1 G2008-04

they were laying-a-rebuke-upon

Morphological NotesVerb, imperfect active indicative, 3rd person plural (Gr,V,IIA3,,P,). The imperfect denotes continuous or repeated action in past time; active voice indicates the subject performs the action.
Rendering RationaleThe verb ἐπιτιμάω combines ἐπί ("upon") with τιμάω ("to value, honor, assess"), originally conveying the idea of laying a valuation or charge upon someone, which developed into the sense of censure or stern admonition. The rendering "they were laying-a-rebuke-upon" preserves the compound force ("upon") and reflects the imperfect active indicative, third person plural—an ongoing or repeated action in past time.
