ἀποθάνῃ
apothnḗskō
it dies
To die, to undergo death, to come to an end of physical life. Also, to perish, be put to death, or undergo figurative forms of 'dying' such as loss or destruction. In some contexts, refers not only to the literal cessation of biological life but also to perishing in a broader existential, spiritual, or ethical sense (e.g., being lost, ruined, or excluded from a group). Its primary meaning is always rooted in the event or process of death, but context may extend the sense to loss of status, relationship, or spiritual condition.

SIBI-P1 Translation G599-07
may die
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active subjunctive, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist tense presents the act of death as a single, complete event, and the active subjunctive third singular conveys potential or contingency, hence "may die." The rendering preserves the core meaning of undergoing death without importing contextual nuance. |
