    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}.

Here, the article to {τὸ | tò} plus infinitive tithenai {τιθέναι | ti-thé-nai} “to put” creates a substantival idea, “the not putting,” which serves as the direct object of krinate.
