SIBI-P1 Translation G4105-12
you might be led astray
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/complete aspect), passive voice, subjunctive mood, 2nd person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist passive subjunctive, second person plural, expresses the possibility of the subject being acted upon—thus "you might be led astray." The passive preserves the root idea of being caused to wander from a proper path. |
