SIBI-P1 Translation G4160-45
you may do
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood, 2nd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active subjunctive, second person singular, conveys a simple, undefined action viewed as a whole with potential or contingency. "You may do" preserves the subjunctive force while retaining the broad root sense of making or performing an action. |
