Howard Justice here:
My question deals with the tense/mood (i.e., present indicative) of
1 Cor 7:15a:
"If the unbeliever departs, (then) let him depart."
Would it be correct to understand this passage to say:
"If the unbeliever is departing, (then) let him be departing."?
What I am asking is this. Is this use of the present indicative to be
viewed here as the progressive present? Does this statement, being
a first class conditional, somehow interfere with the understanding
of how the progressive present is normally and predominantly view-
ed?
Your comments will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
