SIBI-P1 G1209-02
the one welcoming for himself
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present tense, middle voice, participle, nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PPM,NMS). The present participle conveys ongoing action; the middle voice expresses personal involvement or reception with reference to oneself; nominative masculine singular indicates it functions as a subject or substantive describing a male individual. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the present tense as ongoing (“welcoming”), the middle voice as personal reception or involvement (“for himself”), and the participial nominative masculine singular form as “the one …” functioning substantivally. It preserves the root sense of δέχομαι as active reception or welcome, not merely passive receipt. |
