Exegesis
The participle takes as its direct object tas psychas {τὰς ψυχὰς | tàs psy-khàs} ‘the lives’, an accusative plural that specifies what has been given over, while the genitive autōn {αὐτῶν | au-tôn} ‘of them’ marks possession, yielding the sense “their lives.”
In context — Acts 15:26
Men who have given over their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ .
