Exegesis
The verse opens with the conditional formula ei tis {εἴ τις | eí tis} ‘if anyone’, immediately followed by the prepositional phrase eis aichmalōsían {εἰς αἰχμαλωσίαν | eîs aich-ma-lō-sí-an} ‘into captivity’, repeated for rhetorical emphasis.
A second parallel conditional ei tis {εἴ τις | eí tis} introduces en machairē apoktanthēnai {ἐν μαχαίρῃ ἀποκτανθῆναι | en ma-kha-í-rē a-po-ktan-thê-nai} ‘to be killed with the sword’, where the aorist passive infinitive conveys external agency.
Root and etymology
peithōpeí-thō
“to trust”
In context — Revelation 13:10
If anyone is to go into captivity , into captivity he goes; if anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.
