KAI a-ga-PEE-seis KY-ri-on ton the-ON sou eks HO-lês tês kar-di-AS sou KAI eks HO-lês tês psy-KHÊS sou KAI eks HO-lês tês di-a-noi-AS sou KAI eks HO-lês tês is-KHY-os sou
Exegesis
The direct object is the double accusative phrase kyrion ton theon sou {κύριον τὸν θεόν σου | ký-ri-on tón theón soû}, where kyrion and theon stand in apposition, yielding the unified title “the Lord your God” and foregrounding the covenant relationship.
This is followed by four parallel prepositional phrases introduced by ex {ἐξ | ex} plus a genitive noun, each modified by holes tes {ὅλης τῆς | hólēs tês} and concluded with sou {σου | soû}.
Thus: ex holes tes kardias sou {ἐξ ὅλης τῆς καρδίας σου | ex hólēs tês kardías soû} ‘from all your heart’, then similarly with psuches, dianoias, and ischyos. The genitive with ex expresses source and extent, idiomatically rendered “with all,” emphasizing totality.
