Exegesis
A second epi-phrase, epi pan ethnos kai phylēn kai glossan kai laon {ἐπὶ πᾶν ἔθνος καὶ φυλὴν καὶ γλῶσσαν καὶ λαόν | e-pí pân éth-nos kaì phy-lḕn kaì glô-ssan kaì la-ón}, uses an asyndetic list to distribute the proclamation to every nation, tribe, language, and people, emphasizing universal scope. English rendering preserves the sequential participles and the two-stage epi constructions to reflect both purpose and comprehensive reach.
In context — Revelation 14:6
And I saw another angel flying in midheaven , holding an eternal gospel to announce to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation and tribe and tongue and people.
