SIBI-P1 Translation G1209-11
he/she might receive for oneself
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/complete aspect), middle voice (self-involving), subjunctive mood (potential/contingent), 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist subjunctive expresses a simple, undefined act viewed as a whole, rendered with "might receive." The middle voice is reflected by "for oneself," preserving the reflexive/self-involving nuance inherent in δέχομαι. |
