Exegesis
The final participle empiplōn governs the accusative phrase tas kardias hymōn {τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν | tas kar-dí-as hy-môn} ‘your hearts’ and is modified by the genitives trophēs {τροφῆς | tro-phês} ‘of food’ and euphrosynēs {εὐφροσύνης | eu-phro-sý-nēs} ‘of gladness’, indicating what fills the hearts: both material sustenance and inner joy. In translation, the participles are preserved as coordinated verbal ideas (“doing good… giving… filling”) to retain the sense of continuous divine action, while word order is slightly adjusted for natural English flow but keeps the concessive opening, the negated-witness expression, and the sequence of divine gifts.
In context — Acts 14:17
Yet He did not leave Himself without witness, doing good by giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness .
