Finally, kai mē siōpēsēs {καὶ μὴ σιωπήσῃς | kaí mḕ si-ō-pé-sēs} uses the aorist subjunctive for a strong prohibition against silence, preserving the urgency of proclamation.
In context — Acts 18:9
In the night, the Lord spoke to Paul by a vision, “Do not be afraid ; instead, speak, and do not be silent.”
