37 This use of ἐάν (ean) with the indicative mood rather than the subjunctive constitutes an anomalous usage. Here ἐάν is used instead of ἐι (ei) to introduce a first-class condition: “if we know (οἴδαμεν, oidamen) that he hears us in regard to whatever we ask, then we know that we have the requests which we have asked from him.” The reality of the condition (protasis) is assumed for the sake of argument; given the protasis, the apodosis follows. The use of ἐάν for ἐι is rare but not without precedent; see M. Zerwick ( §§330–31).

In other versions

And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.

And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.

And if we know that he hears whatever we ask, we know that we have what we have asked of him.

And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for.

And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked from him.

And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
