Lately I’ve been thinking about the many “if” statements that Paul makes throughout the letters to the Corinthians. I haven’t done a word search yet but I’m wondering about them as to context.
It would be easy to read them as acknowledgement, if these things are present. However, I started thinking about context and wonder if those statements are really meant as hypotheticals.
Any idea? I haven’t had a chance to do the research yet.
Honestly, haven't thought about them specifically.............
A quick answer is, are they used in the similar way he uses 'so then', 'therefore' or 'since'??? IDK.
