Exegesis
The first clause uses epeinasa {ἐπείνασα | e-péi-nā-sa} ‘I was hungry’ with gar {γὰρ | gàr} ‘for’ as a causal connector, followed by the negative ouk {οὐκ | oùk} and the verb edōkate {ἐδώκατέ | e-dō-ká-te} ‘you gave’, with the infinitive phagein {φαγεῖν | pha-geîn} ‘to eat’ and the dative pronoun moi {μοι | moi} ‘me’ specifying the recipient.
In context — Matthew 25:42
For I was hungry , and you did not give Me anything to eat; I was thirsty, and you did not give Me anything to drink .
