Exegesis
The first object of the hortatory subjunctive diokomen {διώκωμεν | di-ṓ-kō-men} is the accusative phrase ta tēs eirenēs {τὰ τῆς εἰρήνης | tà tês eirḗnēs}, literally “the things of peace,” where the neuter plural article ta is qualified by the genitive eirenēs, indicating matters characterized by or belonging to peace.
Parallel to this, the second object is ta tēs oikodomēs {τὰ τῆς οἰκοδομῆς | tà tês oikodomês}, “the things of the edification,” again using a neuter plural article with a genitive abstract noun to denote all that contributes to corporate strengthening.
