5794 Mood - Imperative

     The imperative mood corresponds to the English imperative, and
     expresses a command to the hearer to perform a certain action
     by the order and authority of the one commanding.  Thus,
     Jesus' phrase, "Repent ye, and believe the gospel" (Mk. 1:15)
     is not at all an "invitation," but an absolute command
     requiring full obedience on the part of all hearers.
