SIBI-P1 G1448-16
of the one drawing near
| Root | ἐγγίζω (engizō) |
| Core Meanings | draw near, bring near, approach, come close, be at hand |
| Semantic Range | to approach physically, to come near spatially, to draw near in time (be imminent), to approach relationally or spiritually |
| Conceptual Significance | ἐγγίζω often signals decisive moments of divine action—such as the nearness of the kingdom of God or the approach of significant events. The theme of nearness underscores urgency, readiness, and the relational movement between God and humanity. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, genitive masculine singular (Gr,V,PPA,GMS). Present tense indicates ongoing action; active voice shows the subject performing the action; participle functions adjectivally or substantivally; genitive masculine singular modifies or relates to a masculine singular noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle conveys ongoing action, so "drawing near" preserves the continuous aspect. The genitive masculine singular form is reflected by "of the one," marking possession or relation and maintaining masculine singular reference. This rendering keeps the root sense of nearness inherent in ἐγγίζω. |
