SIBI-P1 Translation G1097-34
he might come to know
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active subjunctive, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,SAA3,,S,) — denotes a simple act of coming to know, contingent or potential. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active subjunctive expresses a simple, undefined act of coming to know, viewed as a whole. "Might come to know" preserves the ingressive force of γινώσκω (movement into knowledge) and reflects the third person singular subjunctive mood. |
