Exegesis
Finally, the temporal clause eleusetai de hotan eukairēsē {ἐλεύσεται δὲ ὅταν εὐκαιρήσῃ | eleúsetai dè hótan eukairḗsē} with the future middle eleusetai and subjunctive eukairēsē indicates Apollos’s eventual coming when circumstances allow. The English splits the complex Greek sentence to preserve contrast and conditional nuance.
In context — 1 Corinthians 16:12
Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers, but it was by no means his will that he should come now; he will, however, come when he has the opportunity .
