Exegesis
The nouns eirene {εἰρήνη | ei-rḗ-nē} ‘peace’ and doxa {δόξα | dó-xa} ‘glory’ appear as nominative subjects linked by kai {καὶ | kaí}, each modified by parallel prepositional phrases en ouranō {ἐν οὐρανῷ | en ou-ra-nôi} ‘in heaven’ and en hypsistois {ἐν ὑψίστοις | en hy-psís-tois} ‘in the highest,’ creating a climactic spatial progression.
