SIBI-P1 G5407-07
you might commit-murder
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active subjunctive, 2nd person singular (Gr,V,SAA2,,S,). Aorist indicates a complete act; active voice; subjunctive mood expressing potential, contingency, or prohibition depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb φονεύω denotes committing murder or acting as a murderer. The form φονεύσῃς is aorist active subjunctive, second person singular, which conveys a simple, undefined act viewed as a whole with potential or prohibitive force; thus "you might commit-murder" preserves both the root idea of murder and the subjunctive nuance directed to "you." |
