This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Except he interpret (ektos ei mē diermēneuēi). Pleonastic combination of ektos (preposition except) and ei mē (if not, unless) as in 1Co 15:2; 1Ti 5:19. For use of ei with subjunctive rather than ean see note on Phi 3:12 (common enough in the Koiné, Robertson, Grammar, pp. 1017f., condition of third class). On the verb see 1Co 12:30; Luk 24:27; Act 9:36.
Receive (labēi). Second aorist (ingressive) active subjunctive of lambanō, may get edification.
