Exegesis
The verse comprises two correlative comparative clauses built on hoios {οἷος | hoî-os} “of what sort” plus the article ho {ὁ | ho} and an adjective substantivum.
The first clause (hoios ho choikos {οἷος ὁ χοϊκός | hoî-os ho khoï-kós}) introduces a singular “earthly one,” immediately followed by the plural correlative (toioutoi kai hoi choikoi {τοιοῦτοι καὶ οἱ χοϊκοί | toi-oû-toi kaí hoi khoï-koí}) extending that nature to the group.
The second clause mirrors this with hoios ho epouranios {οἷος ὁ ἐπουράνιος | hoî-os ho e-pou-rá-ni-os} and toioutoi kai hoi epouranioi {τοιοῦτοι καὶ οἱ ἐπουράνιοι | toi-oû-toi kaí hoi e-pou-rá-ni-oi}, emphasizing the likeness between the heavenly representative and those “of heaven.” The conjunction kai links the two clauses, preserving the parallel comparison. English rendering requires supplying “one” or “man” to make adjectival substantives clear without altering the original contrast between earthly and heavenly.
