ὑμῶν
sý
you
Second person singular personal pronoun; used to directly address one person as 'you.' The primary sense is as a nominative pronoun, the person spoken to. Depending on context, it can have an emphatic or non-emphatic force, indicating either the simple presence of the addressee or stressing the person in contrast or focus. As with all Greek personal pronouns, it is frequently omitted for non-emphatic, subject functions, since the verb conjugation already identifies the person.

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
you all
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | In this context, ὑμῶν refers to the group addressed. Rendering as 'you all' makes the plural clear in English, as per SILEX definition, improving over the more awkward 'of you (plural)' in P1. |
