Greetings,
2 Corinthians 13:5:
Εαυτους πειραζετε ει εστε εν τη πιστει
EAUTOUS PEIRAZETE EI ESTE EN TH PISTEI
Every translation I have access to online since my Bible Works has
been down, translates this passage with something to the effect of
"test yourselves to see if you are in the faith." It seems to me that
in this passage, you have a condition of the first class with the
apodosis placed before the protasis. And the words "to see" are
nowhere in the text. Might this be better translated simply as "If you
are in the faith, then test yourselves?"
Thanks.
