Exegesis
Its direct object ethē {ἔθη | éthē} ‘customs’ is specified by the relative clause ha ouk exestin hēmin paradechesthai oude poiein {ἃ οὐκ ἔξεστιν ἡμῖν παραδέχεσθαι οὐδὲ ποιεῖν} ‘which it is not lawful for us neither to accept nor to do’, with the impersonal exestin {ἔξεστιν | éxestin} governing the dative hēmin {ἡμῖν | hēmîn} and two coordinated infinitives paradechesthai {παραδέχεσθαι | paradéchesthai} and poiein {ποιεῖν | poieîn}, reflecting internal reception and external practice.
In context — Acts 16:21
They are proclaiming customs that it is not lawful for us—being Romans —to accept or to practice.
