a-KOU-sas de ho ee-ay-SOOS EI-pen au-TOI E-ti hen soi LEI-pei PAN-ta HO-sa E-kheis PŌ-lê-son kai di-A-dos ptō-KHOIS kai HE-kseis thê-sau-RON en ou-ra-NOIS kai DEU-ro a-ko-LOU-thei moi
Exegesis
The short clause Eti hen soi leipei {Ἔτι ἕν σοι λείπει | Hé-ti hên soi leí-pei} places eti ‘still’ and hen ‘one’ forward for emphasis, focusing attention on a single remaining deficiency related to the man addressed by the dative soi.
The future indicative hexeis {ἕξεις | hé-xeis} ‘you will have’ introduces the promised result, governing thesauron {θησαυρὸν | thē-sau-ròn} ‘treasure’ and the prepositional phrase en ouranois {ἐν οὐρανοῖς | en ou-ra-noîs} ‘in the heavens’, which shifts the focus from earthly possessions to heavenly reward.
