TIS A-ra es-TIN ho pis-TOS DOO-los KAI PHRO-ni-mos HON ka-TE-stê-sen ho KY-ri-os e-PI TÊS oi-ke-TEI-as au-TOO TOO DOO-nai au-TOIS TÊN tro-PHÊN en kai-RÔ
Exegesis
The noun phrase ho pistos doulos kai phronimos {ὁ πιστὸς δοῦλος καὶ φρόνιμος} uses two adjectives to characterize the servant’s loyalty and discernment.
The articular infinitive tou dounai autois tēn trophēn en kairō {τοῦ δοῦναι αὐτοῖς τὴν τροφὴν ἐν καιρῷ} expresses the purpose of “to give them the food at season,” with the dative kairō {καιρῷ} marking the appropriate time. English word order is adjusted for clarity but preserves the original’s rhetorical force and structure.
Root and etymology

In context — Matthew 24:45
Who then is the faithful and wise servant whom the master has appointed over his household to provide them food at the appointed season ?
