PAU-los de e-pi-le-KSA-me-nos si-LAN ex-ÊL-then pa-ra-do-THEIS tê KHA-ri-ti tou ky-REE-ou hy-PO tôn a-del-PHÔN
Exegesis
The dative prepositional phrase tei chariti tou kuriou {τῇ χάριτι τοῦ Κυρίου | têi khá-ri-ti toû ku-rí-ou} ‘to the grace of the Lord’ defines the sphere of the commendation, and the genitive phrase hypo ton adelphon {ὑπὸ τῶν ἀδελφῶν | hy-pó tôn a-del-phôn} ‘by the brothers’ specifies the agents. This sequence of participial clauses surrounding the main verb tightly links Paul’s selection, his commendation to divine favor, and his departure.
In context — Acts 15:40
But Paul chose Silas, and he went out, having been entrusted to the grace of the Lord by the brothers .
