Exegesis
The conjunction hópōs {ὅπως | hó-pōs} introduces a purpose/result clause, with hoi thélontes {οἱ θέλοντες | hoi thé-lon-tes} acting as a substantival participle “those who want,” linked to the aorist infinitive diabēnai {διαβῆναι | dia-bē-nai} “to cross over.”
In context — Luke 16:26
And besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who desire to cross from here to you are not able, and neither can anyone cross from there to us.
