SIBI-P1 Translation G1209-10
receive for yourselves
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/decisive action), middle voice (self-involving), imperative mood (command), 2nd person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist imperative calls for a decisive act of reception, while the middle voice conveys personal involvement or self-interest. "Receive for yourselves" preserves both the command form (2nd person plural) and the reflexive nuance of the middle voice. |
