SIBI-P1 Translation G4327-03
welcoming for themselves
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present tense (ongoing), middle voice (self-involved/reflexive), participle, nominative masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present middle participle conveys ongoing action with reflexive or self-involving force; "welcoming for themselves" reflects both the continuous aspect and the middle voice’s sense of receiving toward oneself inherent in προσδέχομαι. |
