As I mentioned last week, 1 Cor. 5.9 -13 is fascinating in this
regard - Paul either wrote or writes in v. 9 (EGRAPSA) and NUN DE
EGRAPSA in v. 11. Both could be epistolary aorists (as I would
think), or perhaps only the latter, hence 'I wrote . . . but now I
write'. An interesting one.
Apologies if this is not to the point. I have not really been
following the discussion about 1 John.
