Exegesis
The final clause shifts from prohibitions to a positive command using the present imperative tima {τίμα | tí-ma} ‘honor,’ which governs two coordinated accusative objects, ton patera sou {τὸν πατέρα σου | tòn pa-té-ra sou} and ten metera {τὴν μητέρα | tēn mē-té-ra}, highlighting ongoing, habitual respect toward both parents. In translation, the prohibitive subjunctives are rendered with “do not” or “you must not” to reflect their force, while the imperative is translated as “honor” or “respect,” preserving both the legal tone and the relational focus of the original.
