I'm not sure this is really a Greek question. It would seem to really be
a logical question. Who would be addressed as having been told to flee
the coming wrath if not those who came to receive baptism on confession
of sin? How could he then be thought to address those who did not come
since one might suppose that they were not told to flee the coming wrath
or failed to respond.
