Exegesis
The fronted phrase eis krima {Εἰς κρίμα | Eis kríma} places the judicial goal before the rest of the clause, giving the coming of Jesus an interpretive frame before the subject-pronoun ego {ἐγὼ | e-gṑ} and the main verb elthon {ἦλθον | hēl-thon} ‘I came’ appear.
The repeated eis {εἰς | eis} binds the judgment idea to the movement into ton kosmon touton {τὸν κόσμον τοῦτον | tón kós-mon toû-ton} ‘this world,’ making the sphere of arrival and the purpose of arrival tightly linked.
