baptízō
will baptize
To immerse or dip into liquid, with the primary sense of submerging an object or person in water. In Koine Greek contexts, βαπτίζω is used both in literal senses (such as immersing material in liquid for dyeing or cleaning) and in ritual or ceremonial contexts for purification or initiation, particularly in relation to religious washings and initiations. In the New Testament, it frequently refers specifically to the act of ritual immersion or washing, often as a sign of repentance, initiation, or purification.

SIBI-P1 Translation G907-02
he/she/it will immerse
| Morphological Notes | Verb; future tense, active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IFA3,,S,) — denotes a simple future action performed by the subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Immerse" preserves the core root sense of submerging in liquid without importing later ecclesiastical terminology. The future active indicative, third person singular, is reflected in "will immerse" with an implied he/she/it subject. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
will immerse
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'he/she/it will immerse' is overly explicit since the subject 'he himself' is already present as token 24; 'will immerse' is sufficient to avoid repetition. |
