Exegesis
By fronting pneumati de lalei mystēria {πνεύματι δὲ λαλεῖ μυστήρια | pneúmati dè laleî mystḗria}, the dative emphasizes instrumentality or realm “in spirit,” and mystēria serves as the direct object denoting hidden content. The particles gàr and dè are preserved as “for” and “but” to reflect explanatory and contrastive relations.
