gínomai
to become, to come into being, to happen; primarily denotes the process of transition from one state to another, the coming into existence or reality of something that was not previously so. In various contexts, it can also mean to occur, take place, arise, develop, or change; sometimes serves as a circumlocution for 'to be' when indicating the process or result of becoming, rather than simple existence. Used of events, states, and sometimes of persons or things coming to be in a particular role or status.

we became
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed past), passive form (deponent in usage), indicative mood, 1st person plural — "we" as subject undergoing transition. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist indicative denotes a completed occurrence in past time, and the verb’s core sense is transition into a new state or reality. "We became" preserves the root idea of coming into being or entering a new condition, expressed in first person plural. |
