γένησθε
gínomai
you may become
to become, to come into being, to happen; primarily denotes the process of transition from one state to another, the coming into existence or reality of something that was not previously so. In various contexts, it can also mean to occur, take place, arise, develop, or change; sometimes serves as a circumlocution for 'to be' when indicating the process or result of becoming, rather than simple existence. Used of events, states, and sometimes of persons or things coming to be in a particular role or status.

you might become
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed aspect), middle voice (deponent in usage), subjunctive mood, 2nd person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist subjunctive expresses a simple or complete act of coming into a new state, rendered here as "might become" to reflect the subjunctive mood. Though middle in form, γίνομαι is deponent, emphasizing the subject’s entry into a new state or condition. |
