Exegesis
The participial construction pistin paraschōn pasin anastēsas auton ek nekrōn {πίστιν παρασχὼν πᾶσιν ἀναστήσας αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν | pístin paraschṓn pâsin anastḗsas autón ek nekrôn} builds on the implied subject (God) to explain the means by which assurance of this judgment is given. Paraschōn governs the object pistin (“assurance”) and the indirect object pasin (“to all”), while the following participle anastēsas introduces the concrete historical act that constitutes that assurance: raising Him from the dead. The participles function adverbially, expressing means and evidential grounding. In English, this complex participial string is rendered with finite verbs and participial phrases to preserve causal flow and highlight the resurrection as the validating proof of the coming judgment.
