SIBI-P1 G1679-13
we were hoping / we are hoping
| Morphological Notes | Verb, active voice, indicative mood, 1st person plural. Forms include imperfect (ἠλπίζομεν: past ongoing action) and present (ἐλπίζομεν: present ongoing action). |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb ἐλπίζω denotes active expectation or confident trust. The forms ἠλπίζομεν (imperfect active indicative, 1st plural) and ἐλπίζομεν (present active indicative, 1st plural) are rendered "we were hoping" to reflect past ongoing expectation, and "we are hoping" to reflect present ongoing expectation. Both preserve the active voice and first-person plural subject inherent in the morphology. |
