I'm very new at Greek, and I've been wrestling with ???????? for a few
days now. BDAG lists this as an imperative of GINOMAI. Fair enough. But
the imperative doesn't really come across in any of the English
translations I've looked at. I would have expected something more like
"You believe, so be healed." Searching more, BDAG has an entry that
specifically addresses this verse (bottom of p.197, under sense 4): "w.
adv. or adv. phrase added.../according to your faith let it be done to
you/, i.e. /you believe, and you won't be disappointed./ The phrase
"won't be disappointed" was completely unexpected. Can anyone shed some
light on this?
