let us be judging/distinguishing
| Root | κρίνω (krinō) |
| Core Meanings | separate, distinguish, decide, judge, evaluate, pronounce judgment |
| Semantic Range | to distinguish, evaluate, decide, judge in a legal sense, form an opinion, condemn, bring to trial, pass sentence |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, κρίνω frames the act of discernment and judgment, whether human evaluation or divine adjudication. It can denote careful discernment within the community or the solemn act of rendering judgment, underscoring accountability before Elohim and among His people. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood, first person plural. The subjunctive here functions hortatorily: "let us..." indicating collective exhortation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root κρίνω carries the core sense of separating or distinguishing, leading to deciding or judging. The present active subjunctive, first person plural, expresses a hortatory action with ongoing aspect, best reflected as "let us be judging"—highlighting continuous or deliberate evaluation rather than a single completed act. |
