Exegesis
In the command, the imperative makrothymeson {Μακροθύμησον | Ma-kro-thý-mē-son} plus the dative emoi focuses the plea, and the conjunction kai introduces the future apodoso {ἀποδώσω | a-po-dṓ-sō} with the dative soi marking the beneficiary of the promised repayment. English preserves the temporal, iterative, and volitional nuances of the Greek verbs to mirror the rhetorical force.
