Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
I gave her time (edwka auth xronon). First aorist active indicative of didwmi, allusion to a definite visit or message of warning to this woman.
That she should repent (ina metanohsh). Sub-final use of ina with first aorist active subjunctive of metanoew.
And she willeth not (kai ou qelei). "And she is not willing." Blunt and final like Matthew 23:37.
To repent of (metanohsai ek). First aorist (ingressive) active infinitive with ek, "to make a change out of," the usual construction with metanoew in this book (Revelation 2:22; Revelation 9:20 ff.; Revelation 16:11), with apo in Acts 8:22. Porneia (fornication) here, but moixeuw (to commit adultery) in verse Revelation 2:22.
