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.

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…
I see on Amazon that three volumes of the massive new Gospel of Mark Commentary in the International Critical Commentary by Craig Keener are coming out on February 19, 2026. I wonder if anyone can comment on if these will be available in short measure from Logos? This is one of my most anticipated releases of the year and…
I'm curious as to why volume 2 in this series is available in Logos but not volumes 1 and 3? https://www.logos.com/product/373019/the-long-ascent-volume-2-genesis-1-11-in-science-and-myth https://www.amazon.com/Long-Ascent-Genesis-1-11-Science/dp/1532612141…
All but the 1972 edition have Institute for Nouthetic Studies as their publisher; however, I've read that INS merged with MABTS and also acquired copyrights from Timeless Texts. The 2 titles that Logos has listed explicitly under MABTS aren't duplicated (yet). Caveat: I've put the page counts in quotes, having learned from…
