I have a question about the use of the present tense in I Peter 1:13
which reads in part
TELEIWS ELPISATE EPI THN FEROMENHN UMIN XAPIN EN APOKALUPSEI INSOU
XPISTOU

One author I read suggests that the present tense(FEROMENHN) should be
interpreted as a future tense.  Another source says that the present
tense should be understood as an aorist. 
Any comments in support of either view, or any other(!), would be
appreciated.
Thanks.
