Exegesis
A second kai then introduces ho oikos sou {ὁ οἶκός σου | ho oî-kos sou} ‘your household’, coordinating with sy to extend the promise to the entire family unit. In translation, the imperative is rendered by ‘Place your faith’ in the formal reconstruction and ‘Put your trust’ in the dynamic, while the future passive becomes ‘salvation will come’ formally and ‘will be rescued’ dynamically. The directional force of epi is conveyed by ‘in’, framing the Lord Jesus as the focus of faith.
Root and etymology
oik-omicron–iota–kappa
“house, dwelling”
In context — Acts 16:31
But they declared, “Place your faith in the Lord Jesus , and salvation will come to you and your household .”
