Exegesis
The adversative de {δὲ | dé} and copula este {ἐστὲ | esté} introduce the true state, with mestoi {μεστοί | mestoí} as a predicate adjective meaning “full,” completed by the genitives hypokriseos {ὑποκρίσεως | hypokríseōs} and anomias {ἀνομίας | anomías} that specify what fills them. This men … de structure and the external/internal adverbial contrast shape the rhetoric of exposure, so the English renderings maintain the parallel “outwardly … but inwardly” / “on the outside … on the inside” to preserve the original contrast between appearance and reality.
