SIBI-P1 G863-25

you (plural) are sending away

Morphological NotesVerb, present tense, active indicative, 2nd person plural (Gr,V,IPA2,,P,); one occurrence is present middle/passive indicative, 2nd person plural (Gr,V,MPA2,,P,). The present tense denotes ongoing or customary action; indicative mood states a reality.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering preserves the root sense of ἀφίημι as "to send away" (ἀπό + ἵημι, to send forth). The present active indicative, second person plural form is reflected in "you (plural) are," indicating ongoing action by the addressed group; where the middle/passive form appears, it may imply personal involvement in the act of releasing.
