Exegesis
The conditional particle ean {ἐὰν | e-an} with subjunctive lege {λέγῃ | lé-gē} plus infinitive ekhein {ἔχειν | é-khein} frames a hypothetical claim of having pistis {πίστις | pí-stis} ‘faith.’
In context — James 2:14
What profit is there, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Is that faith able to save him?
