| Root | βλέπω (blepō) |
| Core Meanings | see, look, behold, perceive, watch, take heed |
| Semantic Range | to see physically, to look at, to observe, to notice, to perceive mentally, to watch out, to beware, to take heed |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, βλέπω often extends beyond physical sight to spiritual perception and moral vigilance. It frequently introduces exhortations to discernment and watchfulness, linking physical seeing with inward awareness and covenantal attentiveness. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present tense, active or middle/passive voice, indicative mood, 2nd person plural (Gr,V,IPA2,,P and Gr,V,MPA2,,P). The present tense denotes ongoing or continuous action; the middle may imply self-involvement or personal concern depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root sense of visual perception and attentive regard inherent in βλέπω. The present active (and contextually possible middle) indicative, second person plural form is reflected by "you (plural) are," conveying ongoing action addressed to multiple hearers. |
