SIBI-P1 Translation G2919-18
Decide
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/complete aspect), active voice, imperative mood, 2nd person plural — a command to a group to perform the action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active imperative, 2nd person plural, calls for a decisive act directed to a group. "Decide" preserves the root sense of distinguishing or separating to reach a judgment without importing specific contextual nuances like condemnation. |
