Exegesis
The main verb exiou {ἠξίου | hē-xí-ou} ‘was deeming worthy’ governs the infinitival clause introduced by the negative particle me {μὴ | mḕ} and the present active infinitive sumparalambanein {συμπαραλαμβάνειν | sum-pa-ra-lam-bá-nein} ‘to take along together’, which expresses Paul’s evaluative judgment.
In context — Acts 15:38
But Paul considered it not right to take along the one who had departed from them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work.
