Exegesis
The conjunction hoti {ὅτι | hóti} introduces the object clause containing a conditional with the particle ean {ἐὰν | eán} plus aorist subjunctive eltho {ἔλθω | élthō} “if I come,” followed by the apodosis ou pheisomai {οὐ φείσομαι | ou pheísomai} “I will not spare,” using the future middle to express decisive disciplinary intent. The translation preserves the progression: prior warning, renewed warning, recipients, condition, and consequence, mirroring Paul’s rhetorical build-up.
