Exegesis
The verse presents a two-stage conditional with protases introduced by ei {εἰ | eí} and ean {ἐὰν | eàn}, each employing the aorist subjunctive parakousē {παρακούσῃ | parakoúsē} to express potential refusal.
In context — Matthew 18:17
But if he will not listen to them, bring it before the assembly ; and if he will not listen even to the assembly, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.
