Exegesis
The clause ta nyn parangellei {τὰ νῦν παραγγέλλει | tà nûn parangéllei} literally “the now He-commands” uses the neuter plural article with nûn to denote “the things now,” that is, the present state of affairs, and a present indicative verb parangellei, underscoring ongoing, current divine authority.
In context — Acts 17:30
So then, God , having overlooked the times of ignorance , now commands all people everywhere to repent.
