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.
The adverbial participle kairon de metalabon {καιρὸν δὲ μεταλαβὼν | kai-rón dè me-ta-la-bôn} connects temporally to the future metakalesomai {μετακαλέσομαί | me-ta-ka-lé-so-mai}, “I will call for you,” indicating that Felix will initiate renewed engagement at a more favorable moment, with kairos emphasizing qualitative suitability rather than mere chronology.
