Exegesis
The concluding concessive clause hēmeis de hōs adokimoi ōmen {ἡμεῖς δὲ ὡς ἀδόκιμοι ὦμεν | hē-meîs de hōs a-dó-ki-moi ō-men} uses the present subjunctive to acknowledge the possibility of the apostles being regarded as disapproved, thus underscoring the priority of the believers’ moral conduct over apostolic reputation.
