I think SKUQRWPOI is the predicate of GINESQE, and therefore anathrous; and
hOI hUPOKRITAI is a separate clause, viz., "Don't become gloomy-looking,
like the hypocrites [do], for they...."

These seem to me to clearly be Double Accusative/Object Complement, which
is why the noun has the article and the adjective doesn't...ie., so that
you'll know which is the first object (w/ article) and which is the
second/complement (w/o article).

I suppose we could read this with ISCURON as an adverbial accusative going
with EFOBHQH, viz., "He was powerfully afraid."...seems pretty unlikely
however...(-: Looks like just another Dbl Acc/Obj Compl "...seeing the
wind 'to be' stong, he was afraid."
There is one set of anarthrous words with articular nouns which intrigues
me, since I've seen various grammars explain them in various ways and
that's the anarthrous participle with an articular noun which is clearly
not predicate; eg.:
Mark 3:1 ECHRAMMENHN EXWN THN XEIRA
Now back to my OWN stack of papers....
