Exegesis
The indefinite subject tis {τις | tis} “anyone” pairs with the aorist subjunctive aphélē {ἀφέλῃ | aphélē} “might remove,” governed by the preposition apó {ἀπό | apó} plus the stacked genitive tôn lógōn tou biblíou tês prophēteías taútēs {τῶν λόγων τοῦ βιβλίου τῆς προφητείας ταύτης | tôn lógōn tou biblíou tês prophēteías taútēs}, denoting “the words of the book of this prophecy.”
In context — Revelation 22:19
And if anyone removes any words from the book of this prophecy, God will remove that person’s portion from the tree of life and from the holy city, from what is recorded in this book.
