Exegesis
The verse unfolds as a sequence of coordinated clauses introduced by the conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} ‘and’, producing a rhythmic litany of addresses and responses.
The initial compound subject to pneuma kai hē nymphē {τὸ πνεῦμα καὶ ἡ νύμφη | tò pneû-ma kaí hē ným-phē} ‘the Spirit and the Bride’ governs the plural verb legousin {λέγουσιν | lé-gou-sin} ‘they say’, establishing a joint proclamation.
