{Are ye not divided in your own mind?} (ou diekrith(8874)e en
heautois;). First aorist (gnomic) passive indicative of
diakrin(935c), to separate, conclusion of the third-class condition
(future) in a rhetorical question in the gnomic aorist (as if
past) with ou expecting an affirmative answer. For this idiom
(gnomic aorist) in a conclusion of the third-class condition see
1Co 7:28 . "Were ye not divided in (among) yourselves?" Cf.
1:6 Mt 21:21 . {Judges with evil thoughts} (kritai dialogism(936e)
pon(8872)(936e)). Descriptive genitive as in 1:25 . Dialogismos is an
old word for reasoning ( Ro 1:21 ). Reasoning is not necessarily
evil, but see Mt 15:19 (pon(8872)oi) and Mr 7:21 (kakoi) for
evil reasonings, and 1Ti 2:8 without an adjective. See Jas
1:8 4:8 for dipsuchos. They are guilty of partiality (a
divided mind) as between the two strangers.
