Exegesis
The sentence begins with amēn {ἀμὴν | a-mḗn} ‘amen’ as a fronted marker of solemn affirmation, followed by legō {λέγω | lḗ-gō} ‘I say’ and the dative hymin {ὑμῖν | hū-mîn} ‘to you’, forming an authoritative address formula.
In context — Luke 18:17
Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will certainly not enter it.
