Exegesis
The subject ho adelphos sou {ὁ ἀδελφός σοῦ | ho a-del-phós soû} ‘your brother’ locates the scenario within the community.
The phrase metaxy sou kai autou monou {μεταξύ σοῦ καὶ αὐτοῦ μόνου | me-ta-xú soû kaí au-toû mó-nou} ‘between you and him alone’ emphasizes private engagement through an improper preposition with genitives and the substantive mó-nou for exclusivity.
The apodosis ekerdēsas ton adelphon sou {ἐκέρδησας τὸν ἀδελφόν σοῦ | e-kér-dē-sas tón a-del-phón soû} ‘you have gained your brother’ presents a completed result with a commercial metaphor. The sequential structure preserves the priority of private reproof and the outcome metaphor of relational gain.
