SIBI-P1 G2983-40
he/she will take for himself/herself
| Morphological Notes | Verb, future middle indicative, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IFM3,,S,). The future form is middle in morphology, functioning with active meaning but retaining a nuance of self-involvement. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb λαμβάνω fundamentally means "to take" or "to receive." The form λήμψεται is future middle indicative, third person singular, so the rendering reflects future time ("will take") and the middle voice nuance of personal involvement or benefit ("for himself/herself"). |
