Exegesis
The subject hai kardiai {αἱ καρδίαι | haí kardíai} is then modified by the dative chain en kraipale kai methe kai merimnais biotikais {ἐν κραιπάλῃ καὶ μέθῃ καὶ μερίμναις βιωτικαῖς | en kraipálē kai méthē kai merímnais biōtikaîs}, a coordinated series that accumulates the spheres of danger: excess, intoxication, and the ordinary pressures of life.
The second kai {καὶ | kaí} adds a further warning clause.
