Exegesis
The dative phrase tē pistei {τῇ πίστει | tē pís-tei} functions as a dative of sphere, “in the faith,” specifying the realm of firming, while tō arithmō {τῷ ἀριθμῷ | tō a-ri-THMŌ} also marks sphere, “in number,” clarifying that the abounding pertains to numerical increase.
In context — Acts 16:5
So the churches were being strengthened in the faith , and their number was increasing day by day.
