Exegesis
The coordinating conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} then adds a second group, hoi en hymin phoboumenoi ton theon {οἱ ἐν ὑμῖν φοβούμενοι τὸν θεόν | hoí en hy-mîn pho-boú-me-noi tón the-ón} ‘those among you who fear God’. Here the participle phoboumenoi functions substantivally, describing God-fearing attendees within the assembly, probably Gentiles associated with the synagogue, and the prepositional phrase en hymin ‘among you’ marks them as a subset of the hearers.
