γινώμεθα
gínomai
become
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.

SIBI-P1 Translation G1096-71
we may become
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing process), middle voice (subject participates in the action), subjunctive mood (potential or hortatory), 1st person plural ("we"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The present subjunctive expresses an ongoing or potential process of coming into being, while the middle voice reflects participation in or involvement with the change. "We may become" preserves the dynamic transition inherent in γίνομαι and reflects first person plural subjunctive form. |
