Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en tē hamartia humōn {ἐν τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ ὑμῶν | en tē̂ ha-mar-tí-ā hy-môn} uses the dative as a sphere, “in your sin,” to describe the realm or condition in which apothaneisthe {ἀποθανεῖσθε | a-po-tha-neî-sthe} ‘you will die’ occurs. The future middle highlights the subject’s involvement in this outcome.
