you might trust
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood, 2nd person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active subjunctive, second person plural, expresses a simple or complete act of trusting viewed as a whole, with subjunctive mood nuance. "You might trust" preserves both the root sense of placing confidence in and the potential/subjunctive force directed to a plural audience. |
