It often introduces a statement that is considered to be a logical or necessary conclusion based on the preceding context. In the New Testament, it is used to affirm the certainty or reality of a condition or situation, often in theological or doctrinal contexts.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, conditional statements were a common rhetorical device used in philosophical and legal arguments. The use of "εἴπερ" in the New Testament reflects this cultural practice, emphasizing the logical and necessary conclusions of Christian doctrine. The early Christian writers used such terms to affirm the truths of the Gospel and the implications of faith in Christ.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1512</b> <i>eí per</i> (from <a href="/greek/487.htm">487</a> <i>/antílytron</i>, "if" and <a href="/greek/4007.htm">4007</a> <i>/per</i>, "perhaps <i>indeed</i>") – properly, "if <i>indeed</i>," "<i>even</i> if" (i.e. not just "<i>if</i>");
