Exegesis
The infinitive clause mḕ poiēsai hymas kakon mēden {μὴ ποιῆσαι ὑμᾶς κακὸν μηδέν | mḕ poi-ê-sai hy-mâs ka-kón mē-dén} employs a double negation to stress complete avoidance of evil.
In context — 2 Corinthians 13:7
We now pray to God that you do no evil at all; not so that we may appear approved , but so that you may do what is good, even if we should be found disapproved.
