Exegesis
The phrase to meros auton {τὸ μέρος αὐτῶν | tò méros autōn} ‘their portion’ serves as the subject of the implied future verb, and it is specified by the prepositional phrase en tē limnē tē kaiomenē pyri kai theiō {ἐν τῇ λίμνῃ τῇ καιομένῃ πυρὶ καὶ θείῳ | en tē límnē tē kaioménē pyrì kaí theíō} ‘in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur’.
The articular participle kaiomenē {καιομένῃ | kaioménē} ‘burning’ functions like a defining relative clause, while the dative nouns pyri {πυρὶ | pyrì} and theiō {θείῳ | theíō} operate instrumentally to indicate the means of combustion.
In context — Revelation 21:8
But the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable ones and murderers and fornicators and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars will have their portion in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone , which is the second death .
