Exegesis
The first houtos {οὕτως | hoútōs} modifies kerussomen {κηρύσσομεν | kērússomen}, and the second houtos {οὕτως | hoútōs} modifies episteusate {ἐπιστεύσατε | episteúsate}, establishing a chiastic balance that highlights the parallel between the manner of preaching and the act of believing. The present indicative kerussomen conveys ongoing, characteristic proclamation, while the aorist episteusate marks a decisive historical believing. The structure subordinates individual identities (ego, ekeinoi) to the shared message (houtos…kerussomen) and its effect (houtos…episteusate).
