Jim, when "Consider" is used to direct someone's attention to an idea
and no subject is given, it is imperative. Check any basic English
grammar. It appears to me to be as strong as Paul wanted it to be in
calling attention to the make-up of the Corinthian church. He could
have said BLEPETE, W MOROI. but he did not and so I opt for a nicer
translation.
