SIBI-P1 Translation G2919-41
you may be judged
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed aspect), passive voice, subjunctive mood, 2nd person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the aorist passive subjunctive, second person plural: a simple, undefined act of being judged, expressed as a potential or contingent action. "Judged" preserves the root sense of being distinguished or decided about by another. |
