SIBI-P1 Translation G3880-01

Take alongside yourself

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist tense (simple/completed aspect), active voice, imperative mood, 2nd person singular — a direct command to one person to perform the action.
Rendering RationaleThe aorist active imperative, 2nd singular, calls for a single, decisive act: "take." The compound sense of παρά + λαμβάνω is preserved by "alongside," reflecting the root idea of bringing or receiving something into one’s own company.
