Exegesis
The construction hōste orē methistanai {ὥστε ὄρη μεθιστάναι | hṓste órē methistánai} uses hōste with the infinitive to express result, here a hyperbolic image of faith powerful enough to move mountains.
In context — 1 Corinthians 13:2
And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to move mountains, but do not have love , I am nothing.
