Exegesis
Within this clause, Matthew employs two parallel present active indicative verbs, oikodomeite {οἰκοδομεῖτε | oi-ko-do-meî-te} ‘you build’ and kosmeite {κοσμεῖτε | kos-meî-te} ‘you adorn’, creating a balanced structure that emphasizes ongoing, characteristic actions rather than a single event.
In context — Matthew 23:29
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous .
