Exegesis
In axia gar hon epraxamen apolambanomen {ἄξια γὰρ ὧν ἐπράξαμεν ἀπολαμβάνομεν | ák-si-a gár hṓn e-práx-a-men a-po-lam-bá-no-men}, axia in first position signals deserved consequences, gar explains, hon links ‘worthy things’ to past actions in epraxamen, and apolambanomen in the present tense conveys ongoing reception of those consequences.
In context — Luke 23:41
And we indeed justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for the things we did; but this man has done nothing improper .
