Exegesis
The genitive numerals dú-ō ḗ tri-ṓn már-tu-rōn {δύο ἢ τριῶν μαρτύρων | dù-ō ḗ tri-ṓn már-tu-rōn} ‘two or three witnesses’ function instrumentally, and the adjective pân rhê-ma {πᾶν ῥῆμα | pân rhê-ma} ‘every word/matter’ is the object of the imperative a-né-stō {ἀνέστω | a-né-stō} ‘let stand’, requiring authoritative confirmation.
In context — 2 Corinthians 13:1
This is the third time I am coming to you. Every matter must be confirmed by the testimony of two or three witnesses.
