Exegesis
The participle agathourgōn {ἀγαθουργῶν | a-ga-thour-gôn} ‘doing good’ stands in nominative agreement with the implied subject (God) and is followed by two more nominative participles, didous {διδοὺς | di-doús} ‘giving’ and empiplōn {ἐμπιπλῶν | em-pi-plôn} ‘filling’. Together they form a participial chain that unpacks how God bears witness to Himself: by acts of ongoing generosity.
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 .
