Exegesis
The protasis ean tis epithē {ἐάν τις ἐπιθῇ | ean tis epithē} ‘if anyone should add’ uses the aorist subjunctive for open warning, mirrored by the future indicative epithēsei {ἐπιθήσει | epithēsei} ‘he will add’ as certain divine response. The chiastic parallel of epʼ autá (ἐπʼ αὐτά) and epʼ auton (ἐπʼ αὐτὸν) frames human addition and divine retribution.
In context — Revelation 22:18
I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book : if anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues that are written in this book.
