First class conditional sentences
Conditional sentences of the first class are produced by combining a protasis (the "if" clause) with and the indicative (any tense). Their primary idea is that if such-and-such is true (and for the sake of argument, we will assume the veracity of the protasis), then such-and-such will occur. Why is this the case? How can I see this visually?

When I try using this search in the LHB, I don't get any results. I tried using both a Bible and Morph search. What am I doing wrong?

I have placed notes and references in my book, The New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, easily accessed by reading the notes at Matthew 4:3 and Matthew 4:9, about conditional sentences.

Alternately, type "Conditional" in Factbook, look in the list for "The First Class Conditional", and you'll find an entry (from the Faithlife Greek Grammar Ontology) that explains the structure and provides pointers to articles in several Greek grammars.

Thanks Rick. That helps to solve my brain fog. I like Wallace but want more meat on the bones and what you gave me is just that.
