KAI ho THA-na-tos KAI ho HAI-dês e-BLÊ-thê-san eis tên LIM-nên tou py-ROS HOU-tos ho THA-na-tos ho deu-te-ROS es-TIN hê LIM-nê tou py-ROS
Exegesis
The verse begins with the coordinated noun phrase kai ho thanatos kai ho hades {καὶ ὁ θάνατος καὶ ὁ ᾅδης | kaì ho thánatos kaì ho hádēs}, where the repeated kai links two articular nouns as joint subjects, presenting “death” and “Hades” as paired, almost personified powers.
The second clause begins with the demonstrative houtos {οὗτος | hoûtos} in the nominative, followed by the appositional phrase ho thanatos ho deuteros {ὁ θάνατος ὁ δεύτερός | ho thánatos ho deúteros}, literally “the death, the second,” where the repeated article marks “second” as an identifying epithet.
