SIBI-P1 G5463-05
I am rejoicing
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active indicative, 1st person singular (Gr,V,IPA1,,S,). Present tense conveys ongoing or current action; active voice indicates the subject performs the action; indicative mood states it as a fact. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active indicative, first person singular form denotes an ongoing, active state of gladness expressed by the speaker. "I am rejoicing" preserves the continuous present sense and keeps the verbal force of actively experiencing joy inherent in χαίρω. |
