Exegesis
The prepositional phrase ex hōn {ἐξ ὧν | ex hōn} ‘from which’ introduces a relative clause whose participial construction diatērountes heautous {διατηροῦντες ἑαυτοὺς | di-a-tē-ROUN-tes he-au-TOUS} ‘keeping yourselves’ conveys a conditional nuance: separation from these practices leads to the promised outcome.
In context — Acts 15:29
Abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality ; if you keep yourselves from these, you will do well . Farewell.
