| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/complete aspect), passive voice, subjunctive mood, 1st person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist passive subjunctive, first person plural, indicates a simple, undefined action potentially experienced by "us." The passive voice reflects being received or treated as guests, preserving the core hospitality sense of the ξεν- root. |
