Revelation 11:5

οὕτως. A omits.

5. πῦρ ἐκπορεύεται ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτῶν. Jeremiah 5:14 is a precedent for this image; 2 Kings 1:10, &c. for the sense.

εἵ τις θελήσῃ. The irregularity, so far as there is one, is due to a common tendency of all Greek not consciously moulded on the early classics to use the conjunctive in conditional sentences even after εἰ, Winer, p. 568: hence the irregularity has presumption in its favour, apart from the balance of the authority.
