Exegesis
The dative phrase tē chariti tou theou {τῇ χάριτι τοῦ θεοῦ | tē cháriti tou theoû} indicates the sphere or realm in which this perseverance is to occur: remaining within God’s gracious favor. The English renderings mirror this structure by preserving the temporal framing (“after the synagogue had been dismissed”), distinguishing the two groups who follow, and rendering the relative clause as an ongoing, pastoral engagement that urges perseverance in divine grace.
In context — Acts 13:43
And after the synagogue had been dismissed, many of the Jews and of the worshipping proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking with them, were persuading them to continue in the grace of God .
