I am struggling with how to make since of this verse.  I'm leaning toward
taking the participles as the protasis of a conditional sentence with the
future as the apodosis.  That's probably not good Koine, but with Diognetus
being part of the Attic revival, I am wondering if this might be legitimate
way of rendering it.  I am currently trudging my way through Smyth for an
explanation, but if someone could point me in the right direction it would
certainly help me get more sleep tonight.

thanks,
