SIBI-P1 Translation G5316-13
might be manifested
| Morphological Notes | Verb, aorist passive subjunctive, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,SAP3,,S,) — simple aspect, passive voice, expressing potential or purpose. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist passive subjunctive expresses a simple, undefined action that may occur, with the subject receiving the action. "Might be manifested" preserves the passive voice and the core idea of being brought to light or made visible. |
