SIBI-P1 G1941-17

those who are invoking-for-themselves

Morphological NotesVerb, present participle, middle voice; accusative masculine plural (Gr,V,PPM,AMP). Indicates ongoing action performed with personal involvement by a masculine plural group serving as the accusative object.
Rendering RationaleThe verb combines ἐπί (upon) with καλέω (to call), conveying the sense of calling upon or invoking. The present participle expresses ongoing action, the middle voice highlights personal involvement or self-interest ('for themselves'), and the accusative masculine plural identifies it as describing a group functioning as the object in the sentence.
