SIBI-P1 Translation G1921-15
having fully recognized
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (completed action), active voice, participle mood; nominative masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active participle indicates a completed act of intensified knowing. "Having fully recognized" preserves the compounded force of ἐπί + γινώσκω, conveying thorough or clarified knowledge, while reflecting the nominative masculine plural participial form. |
