KAI Ê-kou-sa AL-lên phō-NÊN ek tou ou-ra-NOU LE-gou-san ek-SEL-tha-te ho la-OS mou eks au-TÊS HI-na mê syn-koi-nō-NÊ-sē-te tais ha-mar-TI-ais au-TÊS KAI ek tôn plê-GÔN au-TÊS HI-na mê LA-bē-te
Exegesis
The prepositional phrase ek tou ouranou {ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ | ek toû ou-ra-noû} ‘from heaven’ underlines the heavenly origin of the message, and the participle legousan {λέγουσαν | lé-gou-san} ‘saying’ introduces the direct speech.
Each purpose clause with hina mē plus subjunctive (hina mē synkoinonēsēte {ἵνα μὴ συγκοινωνήσητε | hí-na mē syn-koi-no-nḗ-sē-te} ‘so that you may not share’ and hina mē labēte {ἵνα μὴ λάβητε | hí-na mē lá-bē-te} ‘so that you may not receive’) articulates the protective rationale—first to avoid participation in her sins (taîs hamartiais autês {ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτῆς | taîs ha-mar-tí-ais au-tês}) and then to escape her judgments (ek tōn plēgōn autês {ἐκ τῶν πληγῶν αὐτῆς | ek tôn plē-gōn au-tês}). The parallel structure intensifies the link between moral separation and deliverance from divine retribution.
