Exegesis
The dative participial phrase metanoounti {μετανοοῦντι | metanoûnti} modifies hamartōlō, characterizing the sinner as actively repenting, with the present tense highlighting ongoing transformation. Both reconstructions reflect these syntactic relationships while balancing literal structure and natural readability.
In context — Luke 15:10
In the same way, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who is repenting.
