    In 2 Corinthians 6:17, εἰσδέξομαι is a first-person singular future middle indicative within the Lord's statement following the commands to come out, be separate, and not touch what is unclean. The APB renders the concluding clause, "then I will receive you."

In the Anselm Project Bible: In 2 Corinthians 6:17, the APB presents the clause as "then I will receive you." This rendering confirms the clause's overall sense rather than isolating every feature of the Greek form.
