Exegesis
The coordinated clause kai ouk axious krinete heautous tēs aiōniou zōēs {καὶ οὐκ ἀξίους κρίνετε ἑαυτοὺς τῆς αἰωνίου ζωῆς | kaì ouk axíous krínete heautoús tês aiōníou zōês} combines the negative particle ouk with axious as the object complement of krinete, portraying the audience as actively rendering a verdict on themselves with respect to participation in ‘eternal life’.
In context — Acts 13:46
And after Paul and Barnabas had spoken boldly, they said, “It was necessary for the word of God to be spoken to you first. But since you are rejecting it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles.”
