SIBI-P1 Translation G5293-09
Be subordinated
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/decisive action), passive voice, imperative mood, 2nd person plural — a command addressed to multiple persons to undergo subordination. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist passive imperative, second person plural, calls for a decisive action in which the subjects are placed under authority. "Be subordinated" preserves the passive form and reflects the root sense of being arranged under an ordered authority structure. |
