Exegesis
A series of prohibitions then follows, each formed with the negative particle me {μὴ | mē} plus an aorist active subjunctive verb (phoneuses {φονεύσῃς | pho-neú-sēs}, moicheuses {μοιχεύσῃς | moi-cheú-sēs}, klepses {κλέψῃς | klép-sēs}, pseudomartureses {ψευδομαρτυρήσῃς | pseu-do-mar-ty-rḗ-sēs}, apostereses {ἀποστερήσῃς | a-po-ste-rḗ-sēs}), a standard Koine pattern for strong prohibitions equivalent to categorical “do not” commands. The repeated me plus verb structure creates rhythmic parallelism that recalls the Decalogue, emphasizing continuity with the Mosaic Law.
