Exegesis
Finally, the clause ei echoi tauta houtōs {εἰ ἔχοι ταῦτα οὕτως | ei é-choi taû-ta hoû-tōs} is an indirect question introduced by ei, with the optative echoi expressing their exploratory stance: they are testing whether “these things” truly “hold so” or “are thus.” In translation, the relative clause is rendered with “who” and the participle anakrinontes as “examining” or “checked,” preserving the sequential flow from noble character, to eager reception, to critical verification of the message against the Scriptures.
In context — Acts 17:11
But these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all eagerness , examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
