Revelation of John 2:21
I gave her time ( εδωκα αυτη χρονον ). First aorist active indicative of διδωμ, allusion to a definite visit or message of warning to this woman.That she should repent ( ινα μετανοηση ). Sub-final use of ινα with first aorist active subjunctive of μετανοεω.
And she willeth not ( κα ου θελε ). "And she is not willing." Blunt and final like Mt 23:37.
To repent of ( μετανοησα εκ ). First aorist (ingressive) active infinitive with εκ, "to make a change out of," the usual construction with μετανοεω in this book (2:22; 9:20ff.; 16:11), with απο in Ac 8:22. Πορνεια (fornication) here, but μοιχευω (to commit adultery) in verse 22.
