Exegesis
The prepositional phrase apo tes pisteos {ἀπὸ τῆς πίστεως | apó tês písteōs} specifies the source or sphere from which the proconsul is to be diverted, namely “the faith,” that is, the Christian message. In English, word order is rearranged to subject–verb–object for clarity, the parenthetical explanatory clause is preserved with a causal “for,” and the participle–infinitive chain is rendered with a finite verb plus an infinitival or gerundive construction to maintain the sense of ongoing attempt and intentional distortion.
In context — Acts 13:8
But Elymas the magician was opposing them, for thus his name is interpreted, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith .
