Exegesis
The present active imperative prassete {πράσσετε | prássete} demands ongoing compliance with this set limit. The English “nothing more than” and “beyond what has been appointed” mirror the Greek comparative structure and the sense of a fixed standard in a financial context.
Root and etymology
prassopi–rho–alpha–sigma–sigma–omega
“to do, practice, exact”
In context — Luke 3:13
He said to them, “Collect nothing more than what has been appointed for you.”
