Exegesis
The sequence ti {τί | tí} ‘what’ plus the adverb eti {ἔτι | é-ti} ‘still’ combined with hysterō {ὑστερῶ | hy-ste-rô} ‘I lack’ forms a direct question that implies a perceived deficiency despite past obedience. In English, the narrative present is rendered as a simple past (“said,” “replied”) for natural style, while the object–verb sequence “all these things I have kept” is preserved to echo the Greek emphasis. The question is translated as a single, clear clause that retains both the sense of ongoing lack and the open-ended nature of the inquiry.
Root and etymology
