Hi,
a question on Philippians 4:5:

it states - ...TO EPIEIKES hUMWN GNWSQHTW PASIN ANQRWPOIS.

I'm a novice, so I hope I've got the characters right !

As far as I can establish GNWSQHTW is aorist, passive, imperative, second
person, plural.
I would appreciate comments on how best to translate this. The passive,
imperative, second person, plural bit is straight forward enough, but the
difficulty for me is with the aorist. To me the aorist must have some
significance because GINWSKW crops up again in v6. In this case it is, I
think, the same form but not an aorist.

Peter.
