Exegesis
A second de {δὲ | dé} introduces the concluding clause pantes de humeis adelphoi este {πάντες δὲ ὑμεῖς ἀδελφοί ἐστε | pán-tes dé hy-meîs a-del-foí é-ste}.
Here pantes {πάντες | pán-tes} is fronted to stress the comprehensiveness (“all of you”), humeis again marks the addressed group, adelphoi {ἀδελφοί | a-del-foí} functions as the predicate nominative, and este {ἐστε | é-ste} completes the equative clause. Syntactically, gar links the middle clause as explanatory to the prohibition, while the final clause with de adds a coordinated assertion of intra-community equality. In translation, the prohibition is preserved as a direct command, the explanatory force of gar is carried by “for” and “because,” and the inclusive sense of adelphoi, denoting the entire community of disciples, is rendered more explicitly in the dynamic version as “brothers and sisters” to reflect the intended mixed audience.
In context — Matthew 23:8
But you, do not be called Rabbi , for One is your Teacher , and all of you are brothers.
