SIBI-P1 Translation G1209-08
having received for himself
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (completed action), middle voice (self-involved/reflexive), participle; nominative masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist participle expresses a completed act of receiving, while the middle voice highlights personal involvement or self-interest in the reception. "Having received for himself" preserves both the completed aspect and the reflexive nuance inherent in the middle form. |
