Exegesis
The vocative construction ō anthrope {ὦ ἄνθρωπε | ô án-thrō-pe} personalizes the address, while the phrase pas ho krinōn {πᾶς ὁ κρίνων | pâs ho krí-nōn} uses an articular present participle to characterize “every one who is judging” as a type of person, not a single momentary act.
The dative clause en hō gar krineis ton heteron {ἐν ᾧ γὰρ κρίνεις τὸν ἕτερον | en hṓ gar krí-neis tón hé-te-ron} employs the prepositional-relative combination en hō to express the very sphere or standard “in which” judgment is made; gar provides an explanation for the charge of being without excuse.
