Exegesis
The verse begins with the main clause doso soi tas kleidas tēs basileias tōn ouranōn {δώσω σοι τὰς κλεῖδας τῆς βασιλείας τῶν οὐρανῶν | dṓ-sō soi tàs kleî-das tês ba-si-leí-as tôn ou-ra-nôn} ‘I will give you the keys of the kingdom of the heavens’, in which the future verb doso governs the dative pronoun soi {σοι | soi} ‘to you’, the accusative noun kleidas {κλεῖδας | kleî-das} ‘keys’, and the genitive-attributive phrase basileias tōn ouranōn {βασιλείας τῶν οὐρανῶν | ba-si-leí-as tôn ou-ra-nôn} ‘of the kingdom of the heavens’, defining the sphere of authority.
In context — Matthew 16:19
I will entrust to you the keys of the kingdom of the heavens; whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in the heavens, and whatever you loose on earth will have been loosed in the heavens.
