Exegesis
The two imperatives poreuou {πορεύου | po-reú-ou} and hamartane {ἁμάρτανε | ha-már-ta-ne}, modified by the negative adverb mēketi {μηκέτι | mē-ké-ti}, form a coordinated command: “go and no longer sin.” The present tense imperatives depict ongoing or habitual action, so “no longer sin” implies a decisive break with a continuing pattern. English word order rearranges elements slightly (placing “neither do I condemn you” before the directives) to sound natural while maintaining the contrast and the progression from pardon to ethical exhortation.
In context — John 8:11
She said, “No one, Lord.” Then Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and stop sinning any more .”
