πορεύεσθε

poreúomai

go

To proceed or travel from one place to another, to go; in extended or figurative contexts, to carry on a course of action, conduct one’s life, or, less commonly, to depart (often meaning to die, in euphemism). The primary meaning is related to physical movement or journey, but in Koine Greek the verb frequently acquires a metaphorical sense of living or behaving in a certain way, or of embarking on a particular course (of conduct or fate).

SIBI-P1 Translation G4198-09

Be going on your way

Morphological NotesVerb; present tense (ongoing action), middle voice (self-involved), imperative mood (command), 2nd person plural.
Rendering RationaleThe present imperative calls for ongoing or continued action, and the middle voice reflects movement undertaken by the subject for themselves. "Be going on your way" preserves the core idea of proceeding or journeying while reflecting the second-person plural command.
