Exegesis
The coordinating kai {καὶ | kai} links each clause, creating a rhythmic, almost liturgical parallelism that heightens the solemnity of the declaration. In translation, the third person imperatives are rendered with “let” plus base verb to preserve the command-like force, while “continue to” and “keep” convey the durative sense associated with eti, maintaining the sharp contrast between entrenched wickedness and persevering righteousness and holiness.
Root and etymology
dikēdelta–iota–kappa–eta
“justice, right, legal claim”
In context — Revelation 22:11
Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; and let the filthy continue to be filthy; and let the righteous continue to practice righteousness; and let the holy continue to be made holy.
