My question really is about conditionals and the
likelihood of fulfillment as perceived by the writer.
This passage starts off EAN OUN SUNELQHi hH
EKKLHSIA...

What I'm trying to determine is whether or not this
conditional construct is used when there is a high,
medium, or low likelihood of fulfillment, or is it a
construct that doesn't even address that issue. Is
Paul saying that the APISTOI are likely to enter a
church service, or, in the less-than-likely event they
do. Would a first-class condition more so indicate
that there was a likelihood that the APISTOI would come?
