Exegesis
The initial adjective eusebes {εὐσεβής | eu-se-bēs} ‘devout’ is coordinated with the participle phoboumenos {φοβούμενος | pho-boú-me-nos} ‘fearing’, which takes the explicit object ton theon {τὸν θεόν | tón the-ón} ‘the God’, forming a compact portrait of piety and reverence.
In context — Acts 10:2
A devout and God-fearing man with all his household, doing many acts of charity to the people, and praying to God continually.
