Hebrews 10:24-25 reads, "KAI KATANOWMEN ALLHLOUS EIS PAROXUSMON AGAPHS KAI
KALWN ERGWN MH EGKATALEIPONTES THN EPISUNAGWGHN hEAUTWN KAQWS EQOS TISIN
ALLA PARAKALOUNTES KAI TOSOUTWi MALLON hOSWi BLEPETE EGGIZOUSAN THN
hHMERAN."

I would be interested in hearing how others would identify the participial
uses of  EGKATALEIPONTES & PARAKALOUNTES.

Right now I'm halting between several options:
1. Take them as the means of the implied verbal event in PAROXUSMON, i.e.,
we provoke to love & good works, by not forsaking ... and exhorting ...
2. Take them as expressing a subordinate, but contemporaneous action with
the three preceding hortatory subjunctives.
3. Take them as expressing a subordinate, but contemporaneous action with
only the preceding KATANOWMEN.

Thanks for your feedback.
