Exegesis
The direct object ton kosmon {τὸν κόσμον | tòn kós-mon} defines the scope as all humanity. The parallel peri phrases with genitives create a threefold structure giving equal emphasis to sin, righteousness, and judgment. English preserves the repeated preposition to reflect the Greek rhythm and highlight the triadic parallelism.
