SIBI-P1 Translation G3880-03
having taken alongside
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active participle; nominative masculine singular — denoting a completed action performed by a masculine singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active participle is rendered with "having taken" to reflect completed action, while "alongside" preserves the παρά prefix’s sense of bringing into one’s company or association. |
