SIBI-P1 G3140-17
he/she might bear-witness
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active subjunctive, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,SAA3,,S,). The aorist presents the action as a whole; active voice indicates the subject performs the witnessing; subjunctive mood expresses potential, purpose, or contingency. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root sense of acting as a witness (from μάρτυς, "witness") by using the compound form "bear-witness." The aorist active subjunctive (3rd person singular) is reflected by "might," conveying potential or purpose, and by the simple verbal aspect without ongoing force. |
