Exegesis
This is immediately followed by the idiomatic combination ei tychōi {εἰ τύχοι | eí tú-choi} ‘if perhaps’, a conditional-optative formula that softens the assertion and signals that Paul is making a broadly general observation rather than a mathematically exact statement.
In context — 1 Corinthians 14:10
