G3362 ἐὰν μή (eàn mḗ)

ἐάν ; I. aconditional particle (derived fr. εἰ ἄν), which makes reference to time and to experience, introducing something future, but not determining, before the event, whether it is certainly to take place; if, in case, (Lat. si; Germ. wenn; im Fall, dass; falls; wofern); οἴ.» among others, Hermann ad Viger. p.832; Klotz ad Devar. ii. 2 p- 450 sqq.; W. 291 (273) sq. It is connected 1. with the Subjunctive, according to the regular usage of the more ancient and elegant classic writers. a. with the subjunc. Present: Mt. vi. 22 (ἐὰν οὖν ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου ἁπλοῦς 7, if it be the case, as to which I do not know, that thine eye etc.); ibid. 23; xvii. 20; Lk. x. 6; Jn. vii. 17; viii. 54 [RGL mrg.]; ix. 31; xi. 9,10; Acts v. 38; xiii. 41; Ro. ii. 25 sq.; 1 Co.ix.16; Gal. v. 2; 1 Tim. i. 8 [not Lehm.]; Heb. xiii. 23; 1 Jn. i. 9; ii. 3, 15 ete. Ὁ. with the subjunc. Aorist, corresponding to the Lat. fut. perf.: Mt. iv. 9 (ἐὰν προσκυνήσῃς μοι if thou shalt have worshipped me) ; v. 46; ix. 21; Mk. iii. 24; ix. 50; Lk. xiv. 34; xvii. 4; xx. 28; Jn. v. 43; xi. 57; Ro. vii. 2; x. 9; 1 Co. vii. 8, 39: vill. 10; xvi. 10 (ἐὰν ἔλθῃ Τιμό6eos; for although he was already on his way to Corinth, yet some hindrance might still prevent his arriving) ; 2 Co. ix.4; Gal. vi. 1; Jas. ii. 2; 1 Jn. v. 16 [Lehm. pres. ]; Rev. iii. 20, and often ; also in the oratio obliqua, where the better Grk. writ. use the Optative : Jn. ix. 22; xi. 57; Acts ix. 2 (W. 294 (276); [ef. B. 224 (193)]). The difference between the Pres. and the Aor. may be seen especially from the following passages: 2 Tim. ii. 5 ἐὰν δὲ καὶ ἀθλῇ τις, οὐ στεφανοῦται, ἐὰν μὴ νομίμως ἀθλήσῃ, 1 Co. xiv. 23 ἐὰν οὖν συνέλθῃη ἡ ἐκκλησία . . . καὶ πάντες γλώσcats λαλῶσιν, εἰσέλθωσι δὲ ἰδιῶται ἢ ἄπιστοι, vs. 24 ἐὰν δὲ πάντες προφητεύωσιν, εἰσέλθῃ δέ τις ἄπιστος, Mt. xxi. 21 ἐὰν ἔχητε πίστιν καὶ μὴ διακριθῆτε. Also εἰ (“quod per -se nihil significat praeter conditionem,” Klotz 1. ¢. p. 455) and ἐάν are distinguished in propositions subjoined the one to the other [W. 296 (277 sq.)]: Jn. xiii. 17 εἰ ταῦτα οἴδατε. μακάριοί ἐστε, ἐὰν ποιῆτε αὐτά, JN. iii. 12; 1 Co. vii. 36; in statements antithetic, Acts v. 38 sq.; or parallel, Mk. iii. 24-26. Finally, where one of the evangelists uses εἰ another has ἐάν, but so that each particle retains its own force, inasmuch as one and the same thing is differently conceived of by the different minds: Mk. ix.43 ἐὰν σκανδαλίζῃ [-Aion Lmrg. T WH txt.] ἡ χείρ σου, and vs. 47 ἐὰν ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου σκανδαλίζῃ σε, i. 6. if so be that ete.; on the other hand, Matthew, in xviii. 8 sq. and v. 29 sq. concerning the same thing saysei. ο. irregularly, but to be explained as an imitation of the Hebr. ox which is also a particle of time (cf. Gesenius, Thesaur. s. v. 4), ἐάν with the Subjune. Aor. is used of things which the speaker or writer thinks will certainly take place, where ὅταν when, whenever, should have been used: ἐὰν ὑψωθῶ, Jn. xii. 32; ἐὰν πορευθῶ, Jn. xiv. 3; ἐὰν φανερωθῇ, 1 Jn. ii. 28 (L Τ Tr WH, for ὅταν RG) ; iii. 2; ἐὰν ἀκούσητε, Heb. iii. 7 fr. Ps. xciv. (xev.) 8; (ἐὰν εἰσέλθης εἰς τὸν νυμφῶνα, Tob. vi. 17 (16) [al. ὅταν] ; ἐὰν ἀποθάνω, θάψον με, Tob. iv. 8, cf. vs. 4 ὅταν ἀποθάνῃ, θάψον αὐτήν; for OR when, Is. xxiv. 13; Am. vii. 2). ἅ. sometimes when the particle is used with the Subj. Aor. the futurity of a thing is not so much aflirmed as imagined, it being known to be something which never could happen: ἐὰν εἴπῃ ὁ ποῦς, if the foot should say, or were to say, 1 Co. xii. 15; ἐὰν ἔλθω πρὸς ὑμᾶς γλώσσαις λαλῶν, 1 Co. xiv. 6. 2. By a somewhat negligent use, met with from the time of Aristotle on, ἐάν is connected also with the I ndicative, [cf. Klotz 1. 6. p. 468 sqq.; Kithner § 575 Anm.5; W. 295 (277); B. 221 (191) sq.; Tdf. Proleg. p- 124 sq.; WH. App. p. 171; Soph. Lex. s. v.; Vincent and Dickson, Mod. Grk. 2d ed. App. § 77]; and a. with the indic. Future, in meaning akin, as is well known, to the subjunc.: [ἐὰν δύο συμφωνήσουσιν, Mt. xvili. 19 T Tr]; ἐὰν οὗτοι σιωπήσουσι, Lk. xix. 40 LT Γτ WH; ἐὰν... ὁδηγήσει, Acts viii. 31 T Tr WH, (ἐὰν βεβηλώσουσιν αὐτά, Ley. xxii.9); butalso b. with the indic. Present: ἐὰν daveiCere, Lk. vi. 34 Lmrg. Trtxt.; ἐὰν στήκετε, 1 Th. iii. 8 T Trtxt. WH; ἐάν τε ἀποθνήσκομεν, Ro. xiv. 8 Lehm. with an indic. Preterite, but one having the force of a Pres.: éavy[Lchm. ἂν] οἴδαμεν, 1 Jn. y. 15 without var. 3. ἐάν joined with other particles ; a. ἐὰν δὲ καί but if also, but even if, [A. V. but and if (retained by R. V. in 1 Co.)]; with the Subjunc.: Mt. xviii. 17; 1 Co. vii. 11, 28; 2 Tim.ii.5. ὍὌ. ἐὰν καί : Gal. vi. 1. cc. ἐὰν μή if not, unless, except; with the subjunc. Present: Mt. x. 18; Lk. xiii. 3 [Lchm. txt. aor.]; Acts xv. 1 [Rec.]; 1 Co. viii. 8; ix. 16 [RGLmrg. TWH mrg.]; Jas. ii. 17; 1 Jn. iii. 21; with the subjune. Aorist : Mt. vi. 15; xviii. 35; Mk. iii. 27; Jn. 111. 3; viii. 24; 1 Co. xiv. 6 sq. 9; Ro. x.15; [xi. 23 RL]; 2 Tim. ii.5; Rev. ii. 5,22 [RL], and often. with the Indicative pres. : ἐὰν μὴ πιστεύετε, Jn. x. 38 Ταῦ. In some passages, although the particles ἐὰν μή retain their native force of uniess, if not, yet so far as the sense is concerned one may translate them but that, without : Mt. xxvi. 42 (the cup cannot pass by without my drinking it); οὐ γάρ ἐστιν κρυπτόν, ἐὰν μὴ φανερωθῇ (Treg.), there is nothing hid, but that it shall ASA ἐάνπερ be made manifest (properly, nothing whatever is hid, except that it should be made manifest), Mk. iv. 22; οὐδείς ἐστιν, ὃς ἀφῆκεν οἰκίαν... ἐὰν μὴ λάβῃ, but that shall re ceive (properly, unless he shall receive .. . it cannot be said that any one has left), Mk. x. 29, 30, [ef. B. § 149, 6. On the supposed use of ἐὰν μή (εἰ μή) as equiv. to ἀλλά, ef. Mey. on Mt. xii. 4; Gal. i. 7; ii. 16; Fritzsche on Ro. xiv. 14 fin.; Ellic. and Bp. Lghtft. on Gal. ll. ee. See εἰ, Til.8¢.8.] ἃἅ. ἐάνπερ [L Tr separately, ἐάν rep] if only, if indeed: Heb. iii. 6 (where L br. περ, and T Tr WH read ἐάν), 14; vi. 3; it occurs neither in the Sept. nor in the O. T. Apocr. ; on its use in Grk. writ. cf. Klotz, 1. e. |p. 483 sq. 6. ἐάντε... ἐάν Te, sive... sive, whether... or: Ro. xiv. 8; (often in Sept. for DN ... DN, as Ex. xix. 13; Lev. iii. 1; Deut. xviii. 3). Cf. Kotz, |. ο. p. 479 sq-; Kiihner ὃ 541; [B. 221 (191)]. seexav. II. The classic use of the conditional particle ἐάν also in the contracted form ἄν (see p. 34” above) seems to have led the biblical writers of both Testaments to connect ἐάν with relative pronouns and adverbs instead of the potential particle ἄν, as ὃς ἐάν [so Tdf. in 12 places], 6 ἐάν [so Tdf. uniformly], ete. (this use among prof. writ. is very doubtful, ef. W. p. 310 (291); B. 72 (63)): Mt. v.19; x. 14[RG]; xv.5; Mk. vi. 22 sq.; Lk. ix. 48[WH ἄν]; xvii. 33; Acts vii. 7 [ΚΒ GT]; 1 Co. vi. 18; Eph. vi. 8 [RG Ltxt.]; 3 In. 5, ete.; ὅπου ἐάν, Mt. viii. 19; xxvi.13; Mk. vi. 10[L Tr ἄν]. ὁσάκις ἐάν, Rey. xi. 6. οὗ ἐάν, 1 Co. xvi. 6 (1 Mace. vi. 36). καθὸ ἐάν, 2 Co. viii. 12 [Tdf. av; ὅστις ἐάν, Gal. v.10 T Tr WH; ἥτις ἐάν, Acts iii. 23 Tdf. For many other exx. see Soph. Lex. 5. v. ἐάν, 3.] In many places the codd. vary between ἐάν and ἄν; cf. ἄν, II. p. 34; [andesp. Tdf. Proleg. p. 96]. ἐάν-περ, see ἐάν, I. 3 ἃ. ἑαυτοῦ, -7s, -ov, etc. or (contracted) αὑτοῦ, -js, -ov, (see p- 87); plur. ἑαυτῶν ; dat. -ois, -ais, -ois, etc. ; reflexive pronoun of the 3d person. It is used 1. of the 3d pers. sing. and plur., to denote that the agent and the person acted on are the same; as, σώζειν ἑαυτόν, Mt. xxvil. 42; Mk. xv. 31; Lk. xxiii. 35; ὑψοῦν ἑαυτόν, Mt. xxiii. 12, ete. ἑαυτῷ, ἑαυτόν are also often added to middle verbs: διεμερίσαντο ἑαυτοῖς, Jn. xix. 24 (Xen. mem. 1, 6,13 ποιεῖσθαι ἑαυτῷ φίλον) ; cf. W. § 38, 6; [B. § 135,6]. Of the phrases into which this pronoun enters we notice the following: ἀφ᾽ ἑαυτοῦ, see ἀπό, II. 2d. aa. ; δ ἑαυτοῦ of itself, i. 6. in its own nature, Ro. xiv. 14 [Tr L txt. read atr.]; ἐν ἑαυτῷ, see in διαλογίζεσθαι. λέγειν, εἰπεῖν. εἰς ἑαυτὸν ἔρχεσθαι to come to one’s self, to ἃ better mind, Lk. xv. 17 (Diod. 13, 95). καθ᾽ ἑαυτόν by one’s self, alone: Acts xxviii. 16; Jas.ii. 17. παρ᾽ ἑαυτῷ, by him i.e. at his home, 1 Co. xvi. 2 (Xen. mem. 3, 13, 3). πρὸς ἑαυτόν, to himself i. 6. to his home, Lk. xxiv. 12 [RG; T om., WH (but with air.) reject, L Tr (but the latter with air.) br., the verse]; Jn. xx. 10 [T Tr air. (see αὑτοῦ) ]; with [ef. our to] himself, i. 6. in his own mind, προσεύχεσθαι, Lk. xviii. 11 [Tdf. om.], (2 Mace. xi. 13) ; in the gen., joined with a noun, it has the force of a possessive pronoun, as τοὺς ἑαυτῶν vexpovs: Mt. viii. 22; Lk. f. κἄν for καὶ ἐάν, ‘EBpaios ix. 60. 2. It serves as reflexive also to the Ist and 2d pers., as often in classic Greek, when no ambiguity is thereby occasioned; thus, ἐν ἑαυτοῖς equiv. to ἐν ἡμῖν avτοῖς, Ro. yiii. 23; ἑαυτούς equiv. to ἡμᾶς αὐτούς, 1 Co. xi. 31; ἀφ᾽ ἑαυτοῦ i. q. ἀπὸ σεαυτοῦ [read by L Tr WH], Jn. xviii. 34; ἑαυτόν i. 4. σεαυτόν [read by 1, T Tr WH], Ro. xili. 9; ἑαυτοῖς for ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς. Mt. xxiii. 31, etc.; cf. Matthiae § 489 II.; W.§ 22, 5; [B. § 127, 15]. 3. It is used frequently in the plural for the reciprocal pronoun ἀλλήλων, ἀλλήλοις, ἀλλήλους, reciprocally, mutually, one another: Mt. xvi. 7; xxi. 38; Mk. x. 26 [Trmrg. WH αὐτόν]; xvi. 3; Lk. xx. 5; Eph. iv. 32; Col. iii. 13,16; 1 Pet. iv. 8, 10; see Matthiae § 489 III. ; Kihnerii. p. 497 sq-; Bnhdy. p. 273; [Bp. Lghtft. on Col. iii. 13]. édw, -@; impf. εἴων ; fut. ἐάσω ; 1 8ογ. εἴασα; fr. Hom. down; 1. to allow, permit, let: foll. by the inf., οὐκ ἂν εἴασε διορυγῆναι [T Tr WH -χθῆναι], Mt. xxiv. 43; by the acc. of the person and the inf., Lk. iv. 41 (οὐκ εἴα αὐτὰ λαλεῖν); Acts xiv. 16; xxiii. 32; xxvii. 32; xxviii.4; 1 Co. x. 13; by the ace. alone, when the inf. is easily supplied from the context, οὐκ εἴασεν αὐτούς, sc. πορευθῆναι, Acts Xvi. 7; οὐκ εἴων αὐτόν, sc. εἰσελθεῖν, Acts xix. 30; [ef. W. 476 (444) ]. 2. τινά, to suffer one to do what he wishes, not to restrain, to let alone: Rev. ii. 20 Rec.; Acts v. 38 RG; ἐᾶτε se. αὐτούς, is spoken by Christ to the apostles, meaning, ‘do not resist them, let them alone,’ (the following ἕως τούτου is to be separated from what precedes; [8]. connect the words closely, and render ‘ suffer them to go even to this extreme’; but cf. Mey. ad loc. ed. Weiss]), Lk. xxii. 51. 3. To give up, let go, leave: τὰς ἀγκύρας... εἴων εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν, they let down into the sea [i. 6. abandoned; cf. B. D. Am. δα. p. 8009" bot.], Acts xxvii. 40. [Comp.: mpoo-edw. |
