Exegesis
The conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} adds another element introduced by hóti {ὅτι | hóti}, marking the content clause dia pollōn thlíps-eōn deî hēmâs eiseltheîn {διὰ πολλῶν θλίψεων δεῖ ἡμᾶς εἰσελθεῖν | diá pollōn thlíps-eōn deî hēmâs eiseltheîn} ‘that through many tribulations it is necessary for us to enter.’ Here deî functions as an impersonal necessity verb governing the infinitive, with hēmâs as its logical subject.
In context — Acts 14:22
Fortifying the disciples’ souls , urging them to persevere in faith, and affirming that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God .
