Exegesis
The paired infinitives agorasai {ἀγοράσαι | agorásai} “to buy” and pōlēsai {πωλῆσαι | pōlēsai} “to sell” form a coordinated object of dynētai, defining economic activity as the sphere of control.
In context — Revelation 13:17
And so that no one might be able to buy or to sell unless he has the mark, the name of the beast , or the number of his name.
