SIBI-P1 G1096-57
that they might come-into-being
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist; middle (deponent in form but active in meaning with reflexive nuance); subjunctive; 3rd person plural (Gr,V,SAM3,,P,). The aorist gives a summary or complete aspect; the subjunctive marks contingency, purpose, or result. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root γίνομαι denotes coming into being or becoming. The aorist tense presents the action as a complete occurrence, the middle voice retains the verb’s inherent reflexive sense of entering into a state, and the subjunctive mood (3rd person plural) expresses potential or purpose—hence “that they might come-into-being.” |
