Exegesis
Within that clause, hōra ēdē hymas ex hypnou egerthēnai {ὥρα ἤδη ὑμᾶς ἐξ ὕπνου ἐγερθῆναι | hó-ra ḗ-dē hy-mâs ex hýp-nou e-ger-thê-nai} has hōra as its subject with an implied copula “is,” and the aorist passive infinitive takes hymas as its logical subject, yielding “you are to be awakened.” The preposition ex creating the genitive hypnou contributes metaphorical imagery of spiritual lethargy.
In context — Romans 13:11
And do this, understanding the time: it is already the hour for you to be awakened from sleep; for now our salvation is closer than when we believed .
