SIBI-P1 Translation G1884-02

may provide relief

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist tense (simple/completed aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood, 3rd person singular.
Rendering RationaleThe aorist active subjunctive, third person singular, is rendered with "may" to reflect the subjunctive mood and a simple, undefined action. "Provide relief" preserves the root sense of offering sufficient aid to meet a need or distress.
