SIBI-P1 Translation G1843-06
openly confessing themselves
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present tense (ongoing), middle voice (self-involving), participle, nominative masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present middle participle nominative masculine plural denotes ongoing action by subjects engaged in openly confessing or declaring, with the middle voice reflecting personal involvement or self-implication. "Openly confessing themselves" preserves the intensified public sense of ἐξ- and the reflexive nuance of the middle voice. |
