πληρωθῇ (plerothe) in Matthew 1:22: Verb Third Person Singular Aorist Passive Subjunctive

Verb: the form names an action or event, here the action of bringing something to fulfillment.

Aorist: commonly views the action as a whole event. It should not be treated as automatically punctiliar or automatically past in every context.

Passive: presents the subject as receiving or being affected by the action.

Subjunctive: often presents potential, purpose, exhortation, or contingency. The clause decides the force.

Third person: the form speaks about someone or something rather than directly as I/we or you.

Not applicable: this verb form is not using noun case to mark its sentence role.

Singular: the verb is marked for a single grammatical subject, which here fits the clause's understood reference.

Not applicable: this verb form does not use grammatical gender to make its point.

ἵνα ... τὸ ῥηθὲν

It is governed by ἵνα, which introduces the purpose or result idea in the sentence.

The form expresses that the saying may be brought to fulfillment within the stated divine purpose.

It does not by itself identify the content fulfilled, and it does not replace the quoted saying or its source.

High: The passive subjunctive carries Matthew's fulfillment formula linking the event to what the Lord spoke through the prophet.

Fulfillment verb in a hina clause. states that the event stands in relation to the spoken prophetic word being fulfilled. Attached to all this happened in Matthew 1:22. Governed by the hina fulfillment clause. The fulfillment claim comes from the whole formula, not from the passive subjunctive in isolation.

How does Matthew relate the event to Scripture? He says it happened so that what the Lord spoke through the prophet might be fulfilled.

Direct: The form directly supports a rendering such as might be fulfilled.

The hina clause may be described as purpose or result, but Matthew's fulfillment formula controls the explanation. The subjunctive does not make the fulfillment doubtful in this formula.

Subjunctive means uncertainty: In this fulfillment formula, the subjunctive serves the clause and does not make fulfillment doubtful.

The Textus Receptus form is πληρωθῇ in Matthew 1:22, and it appears in the clause ἵνα πληρωθῇ.

The lemma πληρόω means to fulfill, fill, or complete, so the form communicates fulfillment rather than a different lexical idea.

The passive subjunctive fits a clause of purpose after ἵνα, so the sentence frames fulfillment as something brought about in God's ordering of events.

The verse says that what happened did so in order that the spoken word from the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled.

This matches Matthew's larger pattern of presenting Jesus' life as fulfillment of Scripture and of God's saving plan.

For readers and teachers, the form supports speaking of fulfillment as the goal of the event, while keeping the quoted word and divine source in view.

Do not derive a separate doctrine from passive voice alone, and do not use the mood to minimize the certainty of Matthew's fulfillment claim.
