ἐάν (Hom.+) fundamentally introduces a situation in which given X, Y will follow (B-D-F §31, 1; 107; 371, 4; 372, 1a; 373; Mlt. and Rob., indices)

① as conj., marker of condition, with probability of activity expressed in the verb left open and thereby suited esp. for generalized statements, if (only rarely [1 Cor 6:4; 11:14, as e.g. Lucian, Vit. Auct. 11 καὶ ἰδιώτης γὰρ ἐὰν ᾖς] anywhere else than at the beg. of the subordinate clause).

ⓐ used w. subjunctive to denote what is expected to occur, under certain circumstances, from a given standpoint in the present, either general or specific (B-D-F. §371, 4; Mlt-Turner 114f)

α. w. pres. subj., and pres. in apodosis: ἐὰν θέλῃς δύνασαί με καθαρίσαι Mt 8:2; Mk 1:40; Lk 5:12. ἐὰν ἀγαθοποιῆτε, ποία ὑμῖν χάρις ἐστίν; 6:33. ἐὰν μαρτυρῶ, ἡ μαρτυρία μου οὐκ ἔστιν ἀληθής J 5:31 (but s. bβ below) cp. 8:16; 15:14. περιτομὴ ὠφελεῖ ἐὰν νόμον πράσσῃς Ro 2:25; cp. 13:4; 14:8; 1 Cor 13:1ff al. W. pres. subj., and aorist in apodosis: ἐὰν ὁ ποῦς σου σκανδαλίζῃ σε, ἀπόκοψον Mk 9:45; cp. vs. 47; w. fut. in apod.: ἐὰν ᾖ …, ἐπαναπαήσεται Lk 10:6; ἐὰν ὁδηγῇ, πεσοῦνται Mt 15:14.

β. mostly w. aor. subj., and pres. in apodosis: ἐὰν ἀγαπήσητε, τίνα μισθὸν ἔχετε; Mt 5:46, cp. 47; 18:15ff. ἐὰν μερισθῇ, οὐ δύναται σταθῆναι Mk 3:24. ἐὰν γαμήσῃ, μοιχᾶται 10:12. ἐὰν ἀπολέσῃ, οὐχὶ ἅπτει; Lk 15:8. ἐὰν μείνητε, μαθηταί μού ἐστε J 8:31; cp. 19:12. ἐὰν χωρισθῇ, μενέτω 1 Cor 7:11; cp. vs. 39. ἐὰν φάγωμεν, περισσεύομεν 8:8. W. aor. subj., and aor. in apodosis ἐὰν εἴπωσιν, μὴ ἐξέλθητε Mt 24:26. ἐὰν ἁμάρτῃ, ἐπιτίμησον … ἐὰν μετανοήσῃ, ἄφες Lk 17:3; ἐὰν εἴπω, οὐ μὴ πιστεύσητε 22:67; cp. vs. 68. W. aor. subj., and fut. in apod. (cp. Aesop, Fab. 408b H./250 I, H-H.): ἐὰν ἀφῆτε, ἀφήσει καὶ ὑμῖν Mt 6:14. ἐὰν ἅψωμαι, σωθήσομαι 9:21. ἐὰν ἐμπέσῃ, οὐχὶ κρατήσει; 12:11; cp. 24:48, 50; 28:14; Mk 8:3; Lk 4:7; 14:34; J 15:10 al. (w. aor. opt. in apodosis Just., A II, 15, 2).

γ. w. pres. and aor. subj. at the same time: ἐὰν δὲ καὶ ἀθλῇ τις ( is an athlete by profession), οὐ στεφανοῦται, ἐὰν μὴ νομίμως ἀθλήσῃ (competes acc. to the rules single or repeated action) 2 Ti 2:5.—1 Cor 14:23: ἐὰν συνέλθῃ (antecedent action) καὶ λαλῶσιν (repeated and lasting), εἰσέλθωσιν δέ (once); cp. vs. 24. ἐὰν ἔχητε πίστιν καὶ μὴ διακριθῆτε Mt 21:21.

ⓑ used w. the indic. (exx. in Dssm., NB 29f [BS 201f]; B-D-F §372, 1a; Mlt. 168; Mlt-Turner 115f; Rdm.² 200; Rob. 1009f).

α. w. fut. ind., in the same mng. (CIG II, 2485 ἐὰν θελήσει; pap; TestReub 4:11; TestJob 4:4 ἐὰν ἐπιχειρήσεις; B-D-F §373, 2): ἐὰν οὗτοι σιωπήσουσιν, οἱ λίθοι κράξουσιν Lk 19:40 (vv.ll. σιγήσουσιν, σιωπήσωσιν). ἐὰν μή τις ὁδηγήσει με Ac 8:31 (v.l. ὁδηγήσῃ). ἐὰν ἡμᾶς μιμήσεται …, οὐκ ἔτι ἐσμέν IMg 10:1; ἐὰν μετανοήσουσιν Hv 1, 3, 2; ἐὰν προσθήσω m 4, 3, 7; ἐὰν ἔσῃ m 5, 1, 2.

β. w. pres. ind. (Ocellus [II B.C.] 5; Cyril of Scyth. p. 145, 5 ἐὰν ἔστιν; CIG II, 2485 ἐὰν βούλονται; TestJud 15:2 v.l.; Just., D. 47, 1 and 3; 67, 2) ἐὰν στήκετε ἐν κυρίῳ 1 Th 3:8 (v.l. στήκητε); IMg 5:2; Hv 3, 12, 3; ἐὰν οἴδαμεν 1J 5:15 (on this and J 5:31 [s. aα above] s. B-D-F §372, 1=B-D-R §373, 3n. 12) ἐὰν πάσχομεν Pol. 8:2.

γ. w. aor. ind. In Mt 15:5=Mk 7:11, N²⁴ accents ὠφελήθης instead of ὠφεληθῇς (N.), giving us an example of ἐάν w. aor. ind., strongly supported by B-D-F §360, 1. This constr. is rare but occasionally found in the late κοινή (Rob. 1009).

ⓒ w. other particles

α. ἐὰν καί even if Gal 6:1; likew. ἐὰν δὲ καί (POxy 472 II, 7) but if 1 Cor 7:11, 28; 2 Ti 2:5. ἐὰν δὲ καὶ παρακούσῃ but if the pers. refuses to listen Mt 18:17.

β. ἐὰν μή if not, unless w. pres. subj. ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ᾖ ἀξία Mt 10:13; cp. Lk 13:3; J 3:2f, 5, 27. Mostly w. aor. subj. ἐὰν μὴ περισσεύσῃ Mt 5:20; 6:15; 12:29; 18:3; 21:21; Mk 3:27; 4:22 (s. KBeyer, Semitische Syntax im NT, ’62, 131); J 4:48; 6:44; 7:51; Ro 10:15; 1 Cor 9:16; 14:6; unless, without ἐὰν μὴ αὐτὸ πίω Mt 26:42. W. fut. ἐὰν μὴ μετανοήσουσιν Rv 2:22.

γ. ἐάνπερ if indeed, if only, supposing that ‘referring to still another condition (fact)’ (B-D-F §454, 2) w. pres. subj. (Pla., Ap. 12, 25b; X., Cyr. 4, 6, 8; PFay 124, 9) Hb 6:3; IRo 1:1 and aor. (Plut., Lyc. 40 [3, 2]; BGU 1141, 30) 1:2; IPol 7:1; Hb 3:6, 14 (v.l. ἐάν).

δ. ἐάν τε … ἐάν τε whether … or whether (X., Cyr. 3, 3, 17, Mem. 2, 4, 6; Ael. Aristid. 53 p. 622 D.; Maximus Tyr. 1, 9a) Ro 14:8. (On the single occurrence ἐάν τε 2 Cor 10:8 s. Rad² 5.)

ε. ἐὰν οὖν s. οὖν 2d. Also s. κἄν.

② as conj., marker of the prospect of an action in a point of time coordinated with another point of time. Thus at times the mng. of ἐάν approaches closely that of ὅταν whenever, when (Is 24:13; Am 7:2; Tob 6:17 BA ἐὰν εἰσέλθῃς, cp. S ὅταν εἰς.; 4:3 BA, cp. vs. 4) 1J 2:28 (v.l. ὅταν); J 12:32 (v.l. ὅταν) 14:3; Hb 3:7 (Ps 94:7).

③ marker of the possibility of any number of occurrences of the same event, ever freq. in place of ἄν (q.v.) after relatives (so Lysias 24, 18 Thalh. v.l. acc. to mss.; pap since 246 B.C. [Mayser 152f]; LXX [Thackeray 67]; Mel., P. 35, 236 πάντα ὅσα ἐὰν γείνηται.—Dssm., NB 29f [BS 201f]; Mlt. 42f; B-D-F §107; Rdm.² 203f; Crönert 130f; Rob. 190f; acc. to Rydbeck most freq. in I–II A.D., esp. in vernacular texts) ὸ̔ς ἐάν = ὸ̔ς ἄν (PTebt107, 8 [II B.C.]; Gen 15:14) [b]Mt 5:19, 32; 1 Cl 32:1. ὅπου ἐάν = ὅπου ἄν Mt 8:19. ὁσάκις ἐάν = ὁσάκις ἄν Rv 11:6. οὗ ἐάν = οὗ ἄν 1 Cor 16:6.—Rydbeck 119–44.
