Exegesis
A second hoti introduces the content of that declaration in direct speech: dōsō hymin ta hosia Dauid ta pista {Δώσω ὑμῖν τὰ ὅσια Δαυὶδ τὰ πιστά | dṓ-sō hy-mîn ta hó-si-a Da-uid ta pis-tá}. Here ta hosia functions as a substantive “the holy things,” with Dauid in a genitival relation (“of David”), and ta pista as an attributive adjective (“the faithful/sure”), together evoking the enduring, reliable covenantal benefits associated with David. In translation, the participial construction is rendered as a descriptive clause “no longer destined to return to decay” to keep the flow natural, while the citation is expressed as “the holy and sure blessings/promises of David” to convey both their sacred character and their reliability.
