Exegesis
Within the quotation, the conditional Ei {Εἰ | Ei} with the perfect indicative kekríkate {κεκρίκατέ | kekríkate} ‘you have judged’ frames the protasis, and the object-complement me pistḕn tō kyriō einai {με πιστὴν τῷ κυρίῳ εἶναι | me pistḕn tôi kyríō eînai} binds ‘me’ as faithful to the Lord.
In context — Acts 16:15
After she and her household were baptized, she urged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord , come into my house and stay.” And she strongly persuaded us.
