Exegesis
The substantive predicate ho dikaios {ὁ δίκαιος | ho dí-kai-os} ‘the righteous man’ is modified by the present active participle engkatoikōn {ἐγκατοικῶν | en-ka-toi-kôn} ‘dwelling among,’ forming a participial clause describing his ongoing residence.
The direct object psychēn dikaian {ψυχὴν δικαίαν | psy-chḗn di-ka-í-an} ‘righteous soul’ contrasts his moral integrity with his surroundings.
