e-AN de EL-thê ti-MO-the-os BLE-pe-te HI-na a-PHO-bôs GE-nê-tai pros hy-MAS to gar ER-gon ky-REE-ou er-GA-dze-te hôs ka-GÔ
Exegesis
The main verb blepete {βλέπετε | blé-pe-te} is a present active imperative commanding the community to “see” or “ensure,” which takes a hina purpose clause: hina aphobōs genētai pros hymas {ἵνα ἀφόβως γένηται πρὸς ὑμᾶς | hína a-phó-bōs gé-nē-tai pròs hy-mâs}.
In this clause, the adverb aphobōs {ἀφόβως | a-phó-bōs} modifies the subjunctive genētai {γένηται | gé-nē-tai}, expressing the goal that his presence “be free of fear” in relation to them, indicated by the prepositional phrase pros hymas.
In context — 1 Corinthians 16:10
Now if Timothy comes, make sure he is with you without fear, for he is doing the work of the Lord , just as I am.
