Show forth!
| Root | δεικνύω (deiknyō) |
| Core Meanings | show, point out, make known, demonstrate, reveal, prove |
| Semantic Range | to show visibly, to point out, to make known, to demonstrate by evidence, to reveal, to prove or establish by action |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used in contexts of revelation or proof, this verb underscores the biblical theme that truth, authority, or identity is not merely asserted but demonstrated—made visible or evident before others. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active imperative, 2nd person singular (Gr,V,MAA2,,S). Aorist imperative conveys a single, decisive action commanded of one person. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb δεικνύω means to show, point out, or demonstrate. The form δεῖξον is aorist active imperative, second person singular, expressing a direct and decisive command to perform the action. "Show forth!" preserves the demonstrative force of the root while reflecting the singular imperative as a clear, complete act. |
