SIBI-P1 G2192-53

that we might hold

Rootἔχω (echō)
Core Meaningsto hold, to have, to possess, to keep, to maintain, to be in a state or condition
Semantic Rangeto possess something tangible or intangible; to maintain a condition; to cling to or retain; to regard or consider; to experience; to be characterized by; to be able (in extended idiomatic uses)
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical usage, ἔχω often conveys not mere ownership but an active holding or maintaining—faith, hope, peace, authority, or relationship. It can signify steadfast possession (e.g., holding fast to hope) or entering into a state of grace or peace, emphasizing lived participation rather than abstract possession.
Morphological NotesVerb; aorist active subjunctive; 1st person plural (Gr,V,SAA1,,P,). The aorist presents the action as a whole; active voice; subjunctive mood indicates potential, purpose, or exhortation; plural "we."
Rendering RationaleThe verb ἔχω fundamentally means "to hold" or "to have," with "holding" as the concrete root sense underlying its extended uses. The aorist active subjunctive, first person plural, expresses a simple or complete action viewed as a whole with potential or intended force—"that we might hold"—preserving both the root idea of grasping/possessing and the subjunctive mood of possibility or purpose.
