Exegesis
The conditional clause ei echei {εἰ ἔχει | ei é-khei} ‘if he has’ introduces resource assessment, and the goal phrase eis apartismon {εἰς ἀπαρτισμόν | eīs a-par-tis-món} ‘for completion’ states the intended outcome. The progression from intention through assessment to goal underscores prudent planning for successful execution.
In context — Luke 14:28
For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost , to see whether he has enough for completion ?
