SIBI-P1 G1843-01
You (plural) be openly acknowledging yourselves
| Root | ἐξομολογέω (exomologeō) |
| Core Meanings | openly acknowledge, fully confess, publicly agree, profess openly |
| Semantic Range | to confess sins, to openly acknowledge wrongdoing, to profess allegiance, to give public praise, to fully agree or affirm |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used in contexts of confession or praise, this term conveys not merely private admission but open, communal acknowledgment. Its middle voice underscores personal responsibility and involvement, highlighting confession as an active, self-implicating act within the covenant community. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present middle imperative, 2nd person plural (Gr,V,MPM2,,P,). Present tense indicates ongoing action; middle voice expresses reflexive or self-involving force; imperative mood conveys command; plural addresses multiple hearers. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb combines ἐκ (out, openly) with ὁμολογέω (to say the same, agree, confess), conveying open or full acknowledgment. The present tense reflects ongoing or continual action, the middle voice highlights personal involvement or self-implication ("yourselves"), and the imperative mood with second person plural marks it as a direct command to a group. |
