SIBI-P1 G1410-34
you (plural) were enabled / were empowered
| Root | δύναμαι (dynamai) |
| Core Meanings | to be able, to have power, to have capability, to be strong enough, to be possible |
| Semantic Range | to be able, to have power, to be capable, to prevail, to have strength for something, to be possible |
| Conceptual Significance | This term reflects the concept of divinely granted ability or inherent power. In biblical theology, human capacity often depends upon divine enabling, highlighting dependence upon God’s empowering presence. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple past), passive form; indicative mood (statement of fact); 2nd person plural. Though passive in form, δύναμαι functions with active meaning (deponent). |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb δύναμαι expresses possession of power or capability. The aorist indicative form ἠδυνήθητε denotes a simple past action, and though morphologically passive, the verb is deponent in meaning; thus "you were enabled" preserves both the passive form and the core idea of receiving or possessing power at a specific past moment. |
