goes out
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense, active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IPA3,,S). |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active indicative third singular form denotes a simple, ongoing action: "he/she/it goes out." This rendering preserves the compound root sense (ἐκ + εἶμι), expressing movement from an interior or defined space outward. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
it is lawful
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'goes out' is incorrect—a wrong root/Strong's mapping. In context, ἔξεστιν means 'it is lawful' or 'it is permitted.' Corrected for context and lexical sense. |
| P1 Flag | wrong root—should be G1832 'is lawful' not 'goes out' |
