SIBI-P1 G1653-10
Show mercy!
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active imperative, 2nd person singular (Gr,V,MAA2,,S,). The aorist imperative calls for a simple, decisive action; active voice indicates the subject performs the act; imperative mood expresses a command or urgent plea directed to one person. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core sense of ἐλεέω as active compassion expressed in deed. The aorist active imperative, second person singular, conveys a direct and urgent command to a single addressee to perform a decisive act of mercy. |
