| Semantic Range | to have power or capability, to be strong enough, to be competent, to be permitted, to be possible, to prevail or overcome |
| Conceptual Significance | This verb expresses inherent or granted ability, often in contexts of divine empowerment or human limitation. In biblical theology it highlights the contrast between human inability and ability granted by God, underscoring dependence on divine power. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present middle indicative, 2nd person plural (Gr,V,IPM2,,P,). Present tense denotes ongoing state; middle voice (deponent) conveys personal involvement or inherent capacity; indicative mood states a fact; plural addresses multiple hearers. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present indicative form expresses ongoing or current ability, rendered as "are able." The middle voice (deponent in form) is reflected with "for yourselves," highlighting personal capacity or inherent power. The second person plural is explicitly marked as "you (plural)." |
