| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active imperative, 2nd person plural (Gr,V,MPA2,,P, / IPA2,,P,): a command directed to you (plural) with ongoing aspect. |

"Be judging" preserves the root sense of separating and evaluating while reflecting the continuous force of the present imperative addressed to multiple hearers. |
