Exegesis
The relative clause hous thelei zoopoiei {οὓς θέλει ζωοποιεῖ | hoús thé-lei zō-o-poi-eî} follows directly, in which hous “whom” functions as the object of both thelei “He wills” and zoopoiei “He makes alive.” This structure places theological emphasis on the Son’s sovereign will as determinative for those to whom He grants life, while the parallelism between Father and Son underscores shared authority in resurrection and life-giving. In translation, preserving the “for just as … so also …” pattern and the repetition of “makes alive / gives life” reflects both the comparison and the unity of action.
