Exegesis
The address then shifts to vocative noun phrases: huie diabolou {υἱὲ διαβόλου | hui-é di-á-bo-lou} ‘son of the devil’ and echthre pases dikaiosynes {ἐχθρὲ πάσης δικαιοσύνης | ech-thré pá-sēs di-kai-o-sý-nēs} ‘enemy of all righteousness’, which function appositionally to the implied “you” and frame the addressee’s identity in stark spiritual opposition.
