SIBI-P1 Translation G2147-39
they may find
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood, 3rd person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active subjunctive, 3rd person plural, conveys a simple, undefined act viewed as a whole, in a potential or purpose sense. "They may find" preserves the root idea of discovering or obtaining while reflecting the subjunctive mood and plural subject. |
