I'm a bit fuzzy on Perfect Passive Participles. I'm having trouble finding
a good summary in my books.
The verse in question is:
Ephesians 2:8
TH GAR XARITI ESTE SESWSMENOI DIA PISTEWS...
My question essentially is how should the Perfect Passive Participle be
interpreted here?
Should we make a big deal about past, present and future time application or
is this more like
an intensified global aorist or something else?
For example: Does Paul mean that we have been saved, are being saved and
will be saved.
or is it simply a strong way of saying we have been saved.
Thanks for any insight on this.
