Exegesis
In each clause, the verb krinei {κρίνει | krí-nei} functions as the main predicate, taking the object hemeran {ἡμέραν | hē-mé-ran} ‘day’, with the prepositional phrase par’ hemeran {παρʼ ἡμέραν | par hē-mé-ran} ‘above day’ forming a comparative idiom that implies preference for one day over another.
The second clause intensifies the contrast with pasan hemeran {πᾶσαν ἡμέραν | pâ-san hē-mé-ran} ‘every day’, depicting a non-discriminating stance toward days.
