SIBI-P1 Translation G1587-03
may cease
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active subjunctive expresses a simple, undefined occurrence viewed as a whole, here rendered as "may cease" to reflect potential or contingent action. "Cease" preserves the root sense of leaving off or coming to an end inherent in ἐκλείπω. |
