Zurwick is talking about the moods in consecutive clauses, "which have
two constructions: with the indicative if the speaker wishes to indicate the
actual realization of the consequence; with the infinitive otherwise (i.e., so
long as the speaker has no special need to indicate the actual event). An
example in John 3:16, and Gal 2:13 as the only two occurences in the NT where
WSTE introduces a subordinate clause with the indicative (not counting where a
main clause is introduced meaning therefore or so).
