Exegesis
The emphatic subject hēmeis {ἡμεῖς | hē-meîs} ‘we’ is balanced by the indirect object hymin {ὑμῖν | hy-mîn} ‘to you’, and modified by the predicate adjective homoiopatheis {ὁμοιοπαθεῖς | ho-moi-o-pa-theîs} ‘of like nature’, followed by the noun anthrōpoi {ἄνθρωποι | án-thrō-poi} ‘humans’, creating a tight cluster that stresses shared humanity rather than divinity.

In context — Acts 14:15
And they said, “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are humans of like nature with you, bringing good news to you so that you turn from these vain things to the living God , who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all the things in them.”
