SIBI-P1 G3708-39
you yourselves will behold
| Morphological Notes | Verb; future tense; middle voice (deponent in usage); indicative mood; second person plural. The future middle form ὄψεσθε functions actively in meaning but retains middle morphology. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is future middle indicative, second person plural, from ὁράω. "Will behold" preserves the core sense of seeing with attentive perception, while "yourselves" reflects the middle voice nuance (even though deponent in form), and "you" marks the plural subject. |
