Exegesis
A qualifying prepositional phrase en te pistei {ἐν τῇ πίστει | en tē̂ Pís-tei} ‘in the faith’ immediately follows stekete, specifying the sphere of steadfastness as the community’s shared belief. The idiomatic verb andrizesthe, derived from language of martial valor, summons moral courage for all believers. The repetition of present imperatives underscores the call to ongoing, habitual vigilance, firmness, courage, and strength, which the English commands preserve through parallel structure.
In context — 1 Corinthians 16:13
