   the hidden things of the heart of him revealed becomes and thus having fallen upon face will worship to the God declaring that truly the God among you is

Exegesis

The present participle apangellōn {ἀπαγγέλλων | apanggéllōn} ‘declaring’ runs in close sequence with the act of worship, introducing the content clause hoti ontōs ho theos en hymin estin {ὅτι Ὄντως ὁ θεὸς ἐν ὑμῖν ἐστιν | hóti Óntōs ho theòs en hymîn estin} ‘that truly God is among you’. The adverb ontōs is placed toward the front of the clause to underscore the reality of the confession. The prepositional phrase en hymin ‘among you’ signals corporate divine presence within the gathered community. In translation, the participial constructions are rendered with finite verbs and subordinated phrasing (“falling upon his face,” “declaring”) to maintain the logical flow from revelation of the heart, to physical submission, to verbal acknowledgment of God’s presence.
