Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en puri {ἐν πυρί | en py-rí} specifies the means or circumstance of the final act of destruction. The repeated kai coordination and recurring pronoun autēn create a piling effect that emphasizes cumulative, escalating violence, which is mirrored in English by preserving the chain of “and” clauses and explicit repetition of “they will.”
Root and etymology
pyrpi–upsilon–rho
“fire, burning heat”
In context — Revelation 17:16
And the ten horns that you saw, and the beast—these will hate the prostitute, and they will make her desolate and naked, and they will eat her flesh, and they will burn her up with fire .
