Exegesis
The sentence begins with the nominative subject ho theos {ὁ θεὸς | ho the-ós}, which is qualified by two parallel genitive modifiers tēs hypomonēs kai tēs paraklēseōs {τῆς ὑπομονῆς καὶ τῆς παρακλήσεως | tēs hu-po-mo-nēs kaí tēs pa-ra-klḗ-se-ōs}, forming a descriptive genitive construction that presents God as the source or possessor of “endurance” and “encouragement.”
