Exegesis
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.
