Indefinite relative clause with \ean \ and subjunctive . It seems unlikely that Paul knew precisely who the leader was .

The same point as in strkjv @5:1 | made plainer by the use of \ep '\ (on the basis of , for the purpose of ). See strkjv @1Thessalonians:4:7 | for this use of \epi \. {Only use not } (\monon m \). No word for "use " in the Greek . Probably supply \trepete \ or \strephete \, "turn not your liberty into an occasion for the flesh " (\eis aphorm n t i sarki \), as a spring board for license .
