SIBI-P1 G2008-03
he was imposing reproof upon
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense, active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IAA3,,S,). The imperfect denotes continuous or repeated past action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb ἐπιτιμάω combines ἐπί (upon) with τιμάω (to value or honor), originally conveying the idea of laying an assessment upon someone, which developed into the sense of censure or stern rebuke. The imperfect active indicative (3rd person singular) is reflected by "he was …ing," expressing ongoing or repeated action in past time, while "imposing … upon" preserves the force of ἐπί (upon). |
