What is 'τιμῶσι' when properly translated from Greek in John 5 verse 23 to other than 'honor' in English?

"(For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment unto the Son: That all men) may acknowledge the status (of the Son, even as they value the Father)" is a proper translation, other than "honor" for the word τιμῶσι (timōsi) in The New Testament passage John 5:23. The Greek verb is in the third person plural of the active subjunctive and translates more literally as "they may set a price on (value something at a price)," and less literally as "they may honor (regard, reverence)," in English. The pronunciation will be "tee-MO-see" in Aeginan Greek.
