Exegesis
The prepositional phrase epi touton {ἐπὶ τούτων | e-pí toú-tōn} “over these” introduces the next clause, where ho deuteros thanatos {ὁ δεύτερος θάνατος | ho deú-te-ros thá-na-tos} is the subject and echei exousian {ἔχει ἐξουσίαν | é-khei ex-ou-sí-an} “has authority” is the verbal predicate, negated by ouk {οὐκ | ouk}, making a strong denial of any power of the second death over those previously described.
Root and etymology
exestiepsilon–xi–epsilon–sigma–tau–iota
“it is permitted, it is lawful”
In context — Revelation 20:6
Blessed and holy is the one who has a share in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no authority; but they will be priests of God and of Christ , and they will reign with Him for a thousand years .
