Lemmaκρίνω
Strong'sG2919

SIBI-P1 G2919-18

Render-a-decision decisively, you all!

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist active imperative, 2nd person plural (Gr,V,MAA2,,P,). Aorist imperative conveys a summary or decisive command; active voice; addressed to "you" plural.
Rendering RationaleThe verb κρίνω carries the core sense of separating or distinguishing so as to decide or judge. The aorist imperative calls for a definite, decisive act, and the second person plural addresses a group; "Render-a-decision decisively, you all!" preserves both the root idea of judgment and the force of the aorist active imperative directed to multiple hearers.
