SIBI-P1 G863-10

they have been sent-away

Morphological NotesVerb; perfect tense (completed action with ongoing result), passive voice, indicative mood, third person plural. From ἀπό (away from) + ἵημι (to send), conveying the idea of sending away or releasing.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering preserves the root sense of ἀφίημι as "to send away" or "release," while reflecting the perfect passive indicative, third person plural form: a completed action with present results affecting "they." The phrase "have been sent-away" maintains the passive voice and the enduring state implied by the perfect tense.
