{If the foot shall say} (ean eip(8869) ho pous). Condition of
third class (ean and second aorist subjunctive eip(8869)). In
case the foot say. {I am not of the body} (ouk eimi ek tou
s(936d)atos). I am independent of the body, not dependent on the
body. {It is not therefore not of the body} (ou para touto ouk
estin ek tou s(936d)atos). Thinking or saying so does not change the
fact. Para touto here means "alongside of this" (cf. IV Macc.
10:19) and so "because of," a rare use (Robertson, _Grammar_, p.
616). The two negatives (ou--ouk) do not here destroy one
another. Each retains its full force.
