This does not reference your specific passage, but it is similar.

3) Assumed True for the Sake of Argument

The force of the indicative mood, when properly understood, lends itself to 
the notion of presentation of reality. In the first class condition the 
conditional particle turns such a presentation into a supposition. This does 
not mean that the condition is true or means since! But it does mean that as 
far as the portrayal is concerned, the point of the argument is based on the 
assumption of reality.

Rom 8:9
hUMEIS DE OUK ESTE EN SARKI ALLA EN PNEUMATI, EIPER PNEUMA QEOU OIKEI EN 
hUMIN.
 
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God 
dwells in you.
