Exegesis
The head noun phusis {φύσις | phý-sis} ‘nature’ serves as subject, followed by a coordinated series of genitives therion {θηρίων | thē-rí-ōn} ‘of wild animals’, peteinon {πετεινῶν | pe-tei-nôn} ‘of birds’, herpeton {ἑρπετῶν | her-pe-tôn} ‘of reptiles’, and enalion {ἐναλίων | e-na-lí-ōn} ‘of sea creatures’ that define the universality. The paired enclitic te…kai and te…kai unify the groups stylistically.
In context — James 3:7
For every kind of wild animals and of birds, of reptiles and of sea creatures , is being tamed and has been tamed by human nature.
