Ron, there is a typo in the first word in Greek above-- THRHSAI SE
THN ENTOLHN ASPILON ANEPILHMPTON MECHRI...... THRHSAI is an
infinitive followed by two accusatives. SE is the pronoun, subject of
the infinitive and THN ENTOLHN is the accusative object of the
infinitive. The two adjectives in the accusative relate to keeping
the commandment in a way (adverbial) that results in spotlessness
(moral purity for the keeper) and puts the one who keeps (obeys) in a
position that is without blame.
