Exegesis
The object phrase hydōr zōēs dōrean {ὕδωρ ζωῆς δωρεάν | hý-dōr zō-ês dō-re-án} ‘water of life freely’ uses a genitive of quality and an adverbial modifier to highlight both the nature and the gracious costlessness of the gift. This progression from proclamation to communal echo to universal summons guided the translation toward a series of clear, inviting imperatives that preserve the open offer of life.
