Exegesis
The second clause begins with nyx {νύξ | nýx} ‘night’ introduced by the explanatory conjunction gár {γάρ | gár}, followed by the simple negation ouk {οὐκ | ouk} and the future middle indicative éstai {ἔσται | éstai} ‘will be’, concluding with the adverb ekeî {ἐκεῖ | ekeî} ‘there’. The conjunction gár marks the reason for perpetual openness: night will not exist in that place. The contrast between day and the absence of night underscores the unbroken light and unrestricted access of the eschatological city.
In context — Revelation 21:25
And her gates will never be shut in the daytime, for night will not exist there.
