Exegesis
The apodosis apodidōmi tetraploun {ἀποδίδωμι τετραπλοῦν | a-po-dí-dō-mi te-tra-plûn} ‘I restore fourfold’ uses the present tense to express ongoing commitment to restitution while tetraploun intensifies the repayment. The structure moves from public posture to generous giving and then to overcompensating restitution, illustrating repentance enacted through economic action.
