SIBI-P1 G5407-06

you will murder

Morphological NotesVerb; future active indicative; 2nd person singular (Gr,V,IFA2,,S,). The future indicative in prohibitions (e.g., commandments) often carries imperative force: "you shall not murder."
Rendering RationaleThe verb φονεύω specifically denotes murder—unlawful, intentional killing—rather than general killing. The form φονεύσεις is future active indicative, second person singular, which is directly reflected in the rendering "you will murder," preserving both the predictive/imperatival force of the future tense and the personal address.
