Dear All,

We read in Eph. 5:5:

TOUTO GAR ISTE GINWSKONTES -

I am unfamiliar with this construction - having a perfect imperative
followed by a present participle. I suppose literally it is something like
"Know this knowing...etc." i.e.: meaning "Certainly know this...etc. Is
this right? Does this construction have a particular grammatical
designation?

Many thanks!
