SIBI-P1 G3403-04
they were reminded
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist passive indicative, 3rd person plural (Gr,V,IAP3,,P,). Aorist denotes a completed past action; passive voice form (often functioning with middle sense in this verb); indicative mood states a factual occurrence. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form ἐμνήσθησαν is aorist passive indicative, third person plural. "They were reminded" preserves the passive voice and simple past (aorist) aspect, while retaining the root sense of bringing something to mind. Though often deponent in meaning, the passive morphology is reflected in the rendering. |
