SIBI-P1 G2545-03

the (feminine) one being-burned / to the (feminine) one being-burned

Rootκαίω (kaiō)
Core Meaningsto burn, to kindle, to set on fire, to consume by fire
Semantic Rangeto be on fire, to be kindled, to be consumed, to be inflamed (literally or figuratively, such as passion or judgment)
Conceptual SignificanceFire in biblical literature often signifies divine presence, purification, testing, or judgment. A "being-burned" entity can represent refinement, destruction, or the active manifestation of divine power.
Morphological NotesVerb, present passive participle; feminine singular. Forms: nominative feminine singular (καιομένη) and dative feminine singular (καιομένῃ). The present tense indicates ongoing action; passive voice indicates the subject is acted upon.
Rendering RationaleThe present passive participle conveys an ongoing state of being set on fire or consumed. Rendering it as "the (feminine) one being-burned" preserves the passive voice and continuous aspect, while the nominative and dative feminine singular forms are reflected by "the (feminine) one" (subject) and "to the (feminine) one" (dative).
