γεγονὸς
gínomai
has happened
to become, to come into being, to happen; primarily denotes the process of transition from one state to another, the coming into existence or reality of something that was not previously so. In various contexts, it can also mean to occur, take place, arise, develop, or change; sometimes serves as a circumlocution for 'to be' when indicating the process or result of becoming, rather than simple existence. Used of events, states, and sometimes of persons or things coming to be in a particular role or status.

SIBI-P1 Translation G1096-25
that which has come to be
| Morphological Notes | Verb; perfect tense (completed action with present result), active voice; participle; nominative neuter singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The perfect active participle, neuter nominative singular, denotes something that has come into being with present resulting state. "That which has come to be" preserves both the process of becoming (root sense) and the completed-result force of the perfect. |
