Lemmaτελευτάω
Strong'sG5053

SIBI-P1 G5053-02

was being brought to an end (of life)

Morphological NotesVerb; imperfect tense, passive voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IPA3,,S,). The imperfect denotes ongoing or progressive action in past time; the passive voice presents the subject as being acted upon.
Rendering RationaleThe verb τελευτάω derives from τέλος (“end, completion”) and means to bring something to its end, especially one’s life. The imperfect passive indicative, third person singular form indicates an ongoing past action in passive voice, hence “was being brought to an end,” preserving both the root sense of completion and the grammatical features.
