Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en ho kai hestekate {ἐν ᾧ καὶ ἑστήκατε | en hôi kaí he-stḗ-ka-te} contains a dative relative pronoun governed by en {ἐν | en}, yielding “in which also you stand.” The perfect tense of hestekate portrays a present, stable condition resulting from a past event. The sequence of relative clauses thus moves from proclamation, to reception, to ongoing steadfastness, and the English renderings mirror this progression by maintaining relative structure while smoothing word order.
