If a man be overtaken ( εαν κα προλημφθη ανθρωπος ). Condition of third class, first aorist passive subjunctive of προλαμβανω, old verb to take beforehand, to surprise, to detect.

Ye which are spiritual ( ο πνευματικο ). See on 1Co 3:1. The spiritually led (5:18), the spiritual experts in mending souls.
