This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
If any one among you do err (ean tis en humin planēthēi). Third-class condition (supposed case) with ean and the first aorist passive subjunctive of planaō, old verb, to go astray, to wander (Mat 18:12), figuratively (Heb 5:2).
From the truth (apo tēs alētheias). For truth see Jam 1:18; Jam 3:14; Joh 8:32; 1Jo 1:6; 1Jo 3:18. It was easy then, and is now, to be led astray from Christ, who is the Truth.
And one convert him (kai epistrepsēi tis auton). Continuation of the third-class condition with the first aorist active subjunctive of epistrephō, old verb, to turn (transitive here as in Luk 1:16., but intransitive often as Act 9:35).
