Since I cut and paste more reliably than I classify conditions, here's
what A.T. Robertson has to say:
If any man sin (ean tis hamarti). Third-class condition with ean and
second aorist (ingressive)
active subjunctive again, "if one commit sin."
So the condition presumes the possibility that someone may sin.
