Exegesis
The comparative clause hōs to ergon estin autou {ὡς τὸ ἔργον ἐστὶν αὐτοῦ | hōs tò ér-gon es-tín au-toû} establishes the standard of recompense: according to each person’s deeds. The Greek sequence moves from summons (idou), to imminent coming (erchomai + tachy), to accompanying recompense (ho misthos mou met emou), to purpose (apodounai) and standard (hekastō hōs to ergon estin autou). The English reconstructions preserve this logical flow while smoothing word order around the infinitive purpose phrase.
