SIBI-P1 Translation G3853-04

Be issuing orders

Morphological NotesVerb; present tense (ongoing), active voice, imperative mood, 2nd person singular — a command to one person to continue or habitually perform the action.
Rendering RationaleThe present imperative active, 2nd person singular, calls for ongoing or continual action. "Be issuing orders" reflects the durative force of the present tense and preserves the authoritative, directive sense of παραγγέλλω rooted in transmitting a charge.
