    mê-KE-ti OUN al-LÊ-lous KRI-nō-men al-LA TOU-to KRI-na-te MAL-lon to MÊ ti-THE-nai PROS-kom-ma tōi a-del-PHÔ Ê SKAN-da-lon

Exegesis

The demonstrative touto functions cataphorically, pointing forward to the content of the decision, expressed by the articular infinitive phrase to me tithenai proskomma tō adelpho ē skandalon {τὸ μὴ τιθέναι πρόσκομμα τῷ ἀδελφῷ ἢ σκάνδαλον | tò mḕ ti-thé-nai prós-kom-ma tṓ a-del-phō ḕ skán-da-lon}.

The negative particle me {μὴ | mḕ} scopes over tithenai, defining the content of the decision as a prohibition against placing obstacles.
