SIBI-P1 G4982-15
Make-safe!
| Morphological Notes | Gr,V,MAA2,,S = Verb, Aorist Active Imperative, 2nd person singular (a decisive command to one person). Gr,V,PFA,NMS = Verb, Future Active Participle, Nominative Masculine Singular ("the one who will make-safe"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active imperative, second person singular, calls for a decisive act: a direct command to bring someone into safety or wholeness. "Make-safe!" preserves the core idea of σῴζω (to bring into safety or wholeness) while reflecting the force of a singular, active command. In its participial form (future active nominative masculine singular), it denotes "the one who will make-safe." |
