Yeah, I had to ask it again An article titled "Further Enrichment of Understanding" explains the translation method regarding the continuous nature of the Greek present tense. he article notes that the translation uses specific helper words for "a good rendering of the present tense which denotes duration or continuance of action". This same resource explains how commands in the present tense are rendered, stating that "The rendering of the present tense of verbs in the form of a command is interesting. For example: 'Continue to love your enemies and to pray for those persecuting you'". You can read this detailed analysis directly on the Watchtower Online Library at https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1950766. Another article discussing the reception of this translation method quotes the British Bible scholar Alexander Thomson. The text states that "British Bible scholar Alexander Thomson noted that the New World Translation is outstanding in accurately rendering the Greek present tense". To show how this applies to family relationships, the text notes that "Ephesians 5:25 reads 'Husbands, continue loving your wives' instead of saying merely 'Husbands, love your wife'". Thomson concluded that "No other version appears to have exhibited this fine feature with such fulness and frequency". This article is available at https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2001842. Applying these exact translation rules to 1 Peter 3:7 ensures that the Greek present participle is translated with the word "continue" to show that a Christian husband must maintain an ongoing lifestyle of dwelling with his wife according to knowledge.

Here is the output of my customized Gemini (it is missing the link/reference to our literature so that's why I wanted your approach): The inclusion of the word "continue" in the New World Translation of 1 Peter 3:7 stems from the grammatical structure of the original Koine Greek text. The Greek verb rendered as dwelling is συνοικοῦντες (synoikountes). Grammatically, this word is a present active participle. In biblical Greek, the present tense denotes an imperfective aspect, meaning it describes an action that is linear, continuous, and ongoing rather than a single completed event. Because standard English verbs do not automatically convey this continuous nuance in a simple present form, translators frequently supply helping words to accurately reflect the original force of the Greek grammar. Rendering the participle as "continue dwelling" faithfully transmits the writer's instruction for husbands to make this understanding way of living a permanent, daily practice. Other modern translations capture this ongoing aspect by using phrases like "as you live with" or "live with your wives in an understanding way" to denote a persistent state of being. The New World Translation chooses to explicitly use the word "continue" to maintain strict fidelity to the grammatical action implied by the Greek present tense. ELI5 Imagine your parents tell you to "keep your room clean." They do not mean you should just clean it once and then let it get messy again. They want you to keep doing it every day. The original Greek Bible uses a special action word that means "keep doing it." That is why the translation uses the word "continue" so you know it is a lifelong habit that should never stop. Summary The word "continue" is used because the original Greek verb is a present participle, which indicates a continuous, ongoing action. Translators include "continue" to help English readers understand that the text describes a permanent lifestyle rather than a one-time action.

what was the output?

I thought you were speaking about in notebookLM

Ho, nice, how did you have it look in depth into our websites ? using this https://wol.jw.org/ as a source link doesn't quite deep enough

Very dignified.

I try to think ahead, when we will be in Paradise, we will think how "fast" it came. Now, on this side, it may feel it is late, but when we will be centuries years old, explaining it to the resurrected ones, we will discuss about how quick it came.
