SIBI-P1 G1961-11
let us continue remaining upon
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present active subjunctive, first person plural (Gr,V,SPA1,,P,). Present tense indicates ongoing or continuous action; active voice; subjunctive mood (likely hortatory); plural subject (“we”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root sense of μένω (to remain) intensified by ἐπί (upon), conveying persistence or steadfast continuation. The present tense reflects ongoing action, and the subjunctive first-person plural is expressed as a hortatory “let us,” capturing the active, collective appeal inherent in the form. |
