Exegesis

The object is expressed with the article-plus-adverb phrase to entos {τὸ ἐντὸς | to en-TÒS}, literally ‘the inside’, followed by a genitive chain, tou poteriou kai tes paropsidos {τοῦ ποτηρίου καὶ τῆς παροψίδος | toû po-tē-RÍ-ou kaí tês pa-RÓP-si-dos}, which specifies the inner part of both cup and dish and functions metaphorically for the inner person.

The subordinate clause is introduced by hina {ἵνα | HÍ-na}, forming a purpose or result clause: hina genetai kai to ektos auton katharon {ἵνα γένηται καὶ τὸ ἐκτὸς αὐτῶν καθαρόν | HÍ-na GÉ-nē-tai kaí to ek-TÒS au-TÔN ka-tha-RÓN}.
