Exegesis

The preposition peri {περὶ | pe-rí} links three genitive objects—dikaiosynes {δικαιοσύνης | di-kai-o-sý-nēs}, enkrateias {ἐγκρατείας | en-kra-teí-as}, and tou krimatos tou mellontos {τοῦ κρίματος τοῦ μέλλοντος | toû krí-ma-tos toû mél-lon-tos}—to specify the topics under discussion and culminates in an articular participial phrase “the judgment that is coming,” signaling eschatological focus.

His reply is introduced by the aorist passive deponent verb apekrithen {ἀπεκρίθη | a-pe-krí-thē}, followed by the substantival participle to nyn echon {Τὸ νῦν ἔχον | Tò nŷn é-chon} functioning as “the present time,” which he appraises before issuing the imperative poreuou {πορεύου | po-reú-ou}, “go,” as a dismissal.
