Exegesis
The destination phrase eis tēn limnēn tou puros {εἰς τὴν λίμνην τοῦ πυρός | eis tēn límnēn tou pyrós} ‘into the lake of fire’ employs eis with the accusative to show movement into a final sphere of punishment. In translation, the conditional structure is preserved with “if… was not found… he was thrown,” maintaining the weighty sequence from examination to verdict to execution, while the passive forms highlight that the judgment is imposed rather than self-chosen.
Root and etymology
pyrpi–upsilon–rho
