SIBI-P1 G3309-05
you (plural) might become-anxious
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active subjunctive, 2nd person plural (Gr,V,SAA2,,P,). The aorist presents the action as a whole; active voice; subjunctive mood expresses possibility, contingency, or purpose; addressed to "you" plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core idea of being troubled or divided by cares inherent in μεριμνάω. The aorist active subjunctive, second person plural, is reflected by "you (plural) might become," expressing a potential or contemplated action rather than a simple statement or command. |
