SIBI-P1 G4851-01

it brings-together (for advantage)

Morphological NotesVerb; present active indicative, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IPA3,,S,). The present tense conveys ongoing or general truth; active voice indicates the subject performs the action; indicative mood states it as a fact.
Rendering RationaleThe verb συμφέρω literally means "to bear or bring together" (σύν + φέρω). In the present active indicative, third person singular, συμφέρει expresses an ongoing or general reality: "it brings-together," often used idiomatically for something that proves advantageous. This rendering preserves both the root imagery of combined bearing and the grammatical force of a present active statement.
