Exegesis
Within the quotation, the conditional Ei {Εἰ | Ei} with the perfect indicative kekríkate {κεκρίκατέ | kekríkate} ‘you have judged’ frames the protasis, and the object-complement me pistḕn tō kyriō einai {με πιστὴν τῷ κυρίῳ εἶναι | me pistḕn tôi kyríō eînai} binds ‘me’ as faithful to the Lord.
