Exegesis
The direct object tas psychas tōn ethnōn {τὰς ψυχὰς τῶν ἐθνῶν | tàs psychàs tōn ethnṓn} literally “the souls of the nations,” uses psychas to emphasize inner disposition rather than physical persons.
The prepositional phrase katà tōn adelphōν {κατὰ τῶν ἀδελφῶν | katà tōn adelphṓn} “against the brothers” indicates antagonism toward the Christian community. The formal uses “made… hostile” to render the embittering sense of ekakōsan, while the dynamic employs “provoked” and “soured” to convey the stirring and corrupting impact on cognition and emotions.
In context — Acts 14:2
But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and made the souls of the nations hostile against the brothers.
