IF Greek: ei ara
Haply (If, Lest):
denotes "if therefore," "if accordingly" (i.e., if in these circumstances), e.g., Mar 11:13, of Christ and the fig tree (not "if perchance," but marking a correspondence in point of fact).
Greek: mepote
Haply (If, Lest):

Rom 10:9 ASV - because IF thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved: Confess Greek: homologeo
Confess, Confession:
lit., "to speak the same thing" (homos, "same," lego, "to speak"), "to assent, accord, agree with
In Mat 10:32; Luk 12:8 the construction of this verb with en, "in," followed by the dative case of the personal pronoun, has a special significance, namely, to "confess" in a person's name, the nature of the "confession" being determined by the context, the suggestion being to make a public "confession." Thus the statement, "every one... who shall confess Me (lit., "in Me," i.e., in My case) before men, him (lit., "in him," i.e., in his case) will I also confess before My Father...," conveys the thought of "confessing" allegiance to Christ as one's Master and Lord, and, on the other hand, of acknowledgment, on His part, of the faithful one as being His worshipper and servant, His loyal follower; this is appropriate to the original idea in homologeo of being identified in thought or language. This is speaking of more than being saved or your conversion. This is a life time of obedience to the Lord and his word , we speak the same thing daily as the Lord commanded us .
James says this word of God has the power to save our soul , and by confession of his word we dictate our walk by our confession. The word if ! is a small word with great consequences .
So I am seeing here that the word IF in the word of God is a conditional word , The word of God and its promises see it as faith on a mans part , believing that God has given me everything nessessary for living a postive faithful life for God we move in his grace . Eph 1:3 ASV - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ:
Eph 1:4 ASV - even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love:
Eph 1:5 ASV - having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
2Pe 1:3 ASV - seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue;
2Pe 1:4 ASV - whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in that world by lust.
2Pe 1:5 ASV - Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in your virtue knowledge;
2Pe 1:6 ASV - and in your knowledge self-control; and in your self-control patience; and in your patience godliness;
2Pe 1:7 ASV - and in your godliness brotherly kindness; and in your brotherly kindness love.
2Pe 1:8 ASV - For IF these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful unto the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Virtue , knowledge ,self control , patience godliness, kindness and lastly LOVE . This sounds a lot like the fruit of the spirit They are all attributes of Christ The word says to do all in the name of the Lord Jesus and that being his character , nature and Authority his power . People should believe this word of God there is so much that is not scripture man made doctrines , even doctrines of demons . Make sure what you believe is from this bible and it is the total word of God. For IF these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful unto the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Here is the conditional part of this commandant, than in
obeying the gospel of God you will know Jesus as a savior and a friend . 1Pe 4:7 ASV - But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore of sound mind, and be sober unto prayer:
The bible says that these men wrote as God instructed them by his spirit , God breathed his word unto us , so God the father is saying that all through time from the moment this book of Peter was penned to this very hour you are reading read it , I am coming as a thief in the night no man knows the hour . We must be looking for his coming at all times. So the end of all things is at hand . Remember the Parable of the ten virgins Mat 25:1 ASV - Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Mat 25:2 ASV - And five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
Mat 25:3 ASV - For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them:
Mat 25:4 ASV - but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Mat 25:5 ASV - Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
Mat 25:6 ASV - But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him.
Mat 25:7 ASV - Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. Manifesting the garment of salvation through obedience of Gods word.
Mat 25:8 ASV - And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out.
Mat 25:9 ASV - But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. Now is the time to fill yourselves with the word of God and manifest his nature , as you see when he returns it will be to late , now is the time for your salvation
Mat 25:10 ASV - And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut.
Mat 25:11 ASV - Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Mat 25:12 ASV - But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Now the word classifies these ten woman as all virgins and at the beginning they were waiting for the bridegroom, they went forth to meet Jesus. Than it says five were foolish and five were wise.

Oil in Greek: elaion / oil" is a symbol of the Holy Spirit , Five virgins had the oil the power of the Holy Spirit and five were lacking. The church of God today is lacking in the ability to disseminate the word of God in their life's , dis·sem·i·nate to spread abroad as though sowing seed
The parable of the sower Jesus sows the word of God in our hearts the good ground and it bears much fruit even to a hundred fold.
Oil:

Isa 61:11 ASV - For as the earth bringeth forth its bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord Jehovah will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
