Exegesis
The following hoti-clause, hoti en tō autō krimati ei {ὅτι ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ κρίματι εἶ | hóti en tôi autô krímati eî}, gives the reason for the expected fear: the preposition en with the dative phrase “in the same condemnation” portrays both men as sharing the same judicial fate. In translation, the participial chain is rendered with finite verbs to maintain readability, and the Greek word order in the rhetorical question is smoothed while preserving its emphasis and legal imagery.
