If there were a verb meaning "to believe falsely," it would not have any significant first person, present indicative!

More specifically this is a perfect passive participle, David. I state that very clearly below; moreover, my translation conveys both of these aspects -- i.e., a perfected action in the passive voice: "having been sanctified by the Holy Spirit." My question to you is What do you think about translating a perfected act into an action whose thrust is present and ongoing (cf. "being sanctified")?

I do not know of any  --  but   . . .  if you are interested, I can show you an example of the KJV translating a perfect passive (in other words, a completed event) into a present, ongoing state: 
Romans 15:16 "That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost."
A suggested alternative could be, "having been sanctified by the Holy Ghost."  Hey David, what do you think on this one?

I do not know of any  --  but, contrary to Judy's claim, I can show you several that speak of the act of our sanctification in the passive voice. Would you like to see some of them?
