Exegesis
The saying begins with kai {καὶ | kaì} ‘and’ linking it to the preceding teaching, followed by oudeis {οὐδεὶς | ou-deìs} ‘no one’ and the present indicative ballei {βάλλει | bál-lei} ‘puts’, forming a general principle.
The subsequent apodosis kai ho oinos apollytai kai hoi askoi {καὶ ὁ οἶνος ἀπόλλυται καὶ οἱ ἀσκοί | kaì ho oî-nos apó-lly-tai kaì hoi as-kói} uses the passive apollytai ‘is destroyed’ to stress complete loss.
