Lemmaκρίνω
Strong'sG2919

SIBI-P1 G2919-19

he/she/it might decisively judge

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist active subjunctive, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,SAA3,,S,). The aorist presents the action as a complete whole; the subjunctive expresses possibility, purpose, or contingency; active voice indicates the subject performs the action.
Rendering RationaleThe verb κρίνω fundamentally means to separate or distinguish, hence to decide or judge. The aorist active subjunctive (3rd person singular) expresses a single, complete act viewed as a whole with potential or contingency, which is conveyed by "might" and the adverb "decisively" to reflect the aorist aspect.
