Exegesis
The second clause links the aorist exelthen {ἐξῆλθεν | ex-Êl-then} ‘went out’ and the present hupagei {ὑπάγει | hu-PA-gei} ‘goes’ with kai {καὶ | kaí} ‘and,’ framed by apo theou {ἀπὸ θεοῦ | a-pó the-oû} ‘from God’ and pros ton theon {πρὸς τὸν θεόν | pros ton the-ÓN} ‘to God,’ indicating divine origin and destined return. The formal translation retains the participial structure and tense distinctions, while the dynamic version renders the participle as a finite verb for immediacy.
