Exegesis
This is immediately expanded by the appositional phrase huioi genous Abraam {υἱοὶ γένους Ἀβραὰμ | hu-ioí Gé-nous A-bra-ám} ‘sons of the race of Abraham’, which more precisely identifies the first group being addressed as ethnic descendants of Abraham.
In context — Acts 13:26
Men, brothers, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you who fear God , to us the word of this salvation has been sent.
