Exegesis
The verse opens with the prepositional phrase en autō {ἐν αὐτῷ | en au-tō} indicating the sphere of divine presence and sustenance.
The coordinated verbs zōmen, kinoumetha, and esmen {ζῶμεν, κινούμεθα, ἐσμέν | zō-men, ki-noú-me-tha, es-men} form a triadic structure that emphasizes ongoing life, motion, and existence under divine influence.
In context — Acts 17:28
For in Him we live and move and exist, as also some of your own poets have said, “For we also are His offspring .”
