Exegesis
The causal transition dia touto {διὰ τοῦτο | di-á toû-to} “because of this” leads to the future middle indicative lempsesthe {λήψεσθε | lḗmp-se-sthe}, signifying personal reception of the outcome, and the comparative substantive perissoteron krima {περισσότερον κρίμα | pe-ris-só-te-ron krí-ma} underscores the intensification of divine judgment awaiting them.
In context — Matthew 23:14
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you devour widows’ houses and for a pretense pray long prayers; therefore you will receive greater judgment .
