A friend put this to me: It seems to me that the present and aorist
imperatives in some cases are used interchangeably. Where I would expect a
single aorist I find a present, and visa versa. For example, in Matthew
5:24 why aren't "leave" your gift and "go" both aorists? Or, in Matthew 8:4
"go" and "show": "go" is present and "show" is aorist. Still further, in
Matthew 16:24 "deny" is aorist (I would expect a present), "take up" is
aorist followed by daily (making me expect it to be present, and "follow
me" is a present, which I expected. Also, in Ephesians 5:18 "Be not drunk
with wine but be filled with the Spirit", both verbs are present imperative
past. Any insights?
