SIBI-P1 Translation G770-02
having become weak
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed action), active voice, participle mood; nominative masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active participle denotes a completed occurrence of becoming without specifying duration. "Having become weak" preserves the root idea of lacking strength (ἀ- + σθένος) and reflects the aorist participial form in the masculine nominative singular. |
