SIBI-P1 G191-35
you (plural) will hear / you (plural) may hear (decisively)
| Root | ἀκούω (akouō) |
| Core Meanings | hear, listen, perceive by ear, heed, understand, be informed |
| Semantic Range | to hear sounds, to listen attentively, to heed or obey, to understand, to receive a report, to become aware of |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, ἀκούω often implies more than auditory reception; it carries covenantal weight of attentive listening that leads to obedience. Hearing is foundational to faith, revelation, and responsiveness to the word proclaimed. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, either future active indicative 2nd person plural (Gr,V,IFA2,,P,) or aorist active subjunctive 2nd person plural (Gr,V,SAA2,,P,). Active voice; no middle or passive nuance. The aorist subjunctive conveys potential or purpose with a summary aspect. |
| Rendering Rationale | The future active indicative form is rendered "you (plural) will hear," reflecting second person plural and future certainty. The aorist active subjunctive form is rendered "you (plural) may hear (decisively)," expressing second person plural with subjunctive possibility and the aorist’s simple or complete aspect of hearing as a whole event. |
