Exegesis
It then presents two categorical prohibitions, Mē moicheuseis {Μὴ μοιχεύσῃς | Mḕ moicheúsēs} and Mē phoneuseis {Μὴ φονεύσῃς | Mḕ phoneúsēs}, employing the aorist subjunctive with mē to mirror Decalogue-style mandates.
In context — James 2:11
For the One who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law .
