SIBI-P1 Translation G2233-02
be considering for yourselves
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing), middle voice (self-involving/deponent), imperative mood (command), 2nd person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present middle imperative, second person plural, calls for ongoing action directed with personal engagement. "Be considering for yourselves" reflects the middle voice’s self-involving force and preserves the core meaning of forming an evaluative judgment. |
