Exegesis
The negated object-centered construction Ou chreian echousin apelthein {Οὐ χρείαν ἔχουσιν ἀπελθεῖν | ou chreí-an É-khou-sin a-pel-theîn} places the accusative noun chreian ‘need’ before the verb and infinitive, thereby emphasizing the absence of necessity, with the infinitive apelthein acting as the content clause of the ‘need.’
