Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis tēn basileían tou theoû {εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ | eis tēn basileían tou theoû} states the goal, highlighting that entry into God’s reign is achieved by passing through suffering. In translation, participles are rendered as finite actions to preserve readability while reflecting their supportive descriptive role, and the hóti-clause is maintained to keep the exhortation’s direct proclamation of necessity.
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 .
