Exegesis
The coordinating conjunction kai {καὶ | kaì} then links a parallel clause, again marked by heptakis modifying the subjunctive epistrepsē {ἐπιστρέψῃ | e-pi-strép-sē}, “he should turn,” which portrays repeated relational return toward the offended party, expressed by pros se {πρός σέ | prós sé}.
In context — Luke 17:4
And if he should sin against you seven times in a day, and seven times he should return to you, saying, “I repent,” you shall forgive him .
