Hi Noel,

This is a textual problem. Both have substantial support (see below). The
UBS-3 gave it a grade of "D" (its least certain grade), but upgrades this
to a "C" in the UBS-4 (perhaps "Textual Optimism" at work; cf. Kent D.
Clarke).

While the thought flow may be smoother with the indicative future
KTHSESQE, Metzger remarks that the aorist imperative KTHSASQE "seems to be
slightly preferable, for copyists would have perhaps been likely to
conform it to the future tense, used several times in the preceding
context."

Warm regards,
David
