I noticed in the Lexham English Bible translation of Revelation 3:3, “If therefore you are not on the alert” from “ἐὰν οὖν μὴ γρηγορήσῃς”. Should that not be “if therefore you not be on the alert”? As “γρηγορήσῃς” is subjunctive, no?
To get the answer faster, have you checked your commentaries for a discussion of the issue? If you haven't would it help to have suggested searches to find such discussions? Grammar and syntax books listed in an exegetical guide for the verse is another good starting point.
I suggest you use Logos to search for other occurrences of ἐὰν. I think you’ll find that most versions translate the subjunctive verbs in such clauses as indicative in English.
Greg, is this because few folks anymore have a clear understanding of subjunctive? I at times find this a regrettable loss for clear communication.

Logos lists volumes 1 and 3 of Marshall Hodgson's The Venture of Islam as being available for purchase, but volume 2 is nowhere to be found on Logos. These appear to be Faithlife ebooks. My question is the obvious one. Unless the license agreement for this work either omits volume 2, or caps the number of licenses for…
Is there any kind of update regarding an approximate timeline for when either (or both) of these will be available for purchase or pre-order? UBS6 is already available in Accordance, and Houghton’s textual commentary is already available in Logos. It seems strange that the commentary would be released before the text that…
Im hoping the 5% back will be available on Feb 1st. Is this going to be the case? Hannah
I am reformatting a calendar of saints for use on Logos. I am able to get it to work as a calendar devotion on the dashboard. But what I would really like to do is have it be a Saints resource card that I can pout on the dashboard.
