Exegesis
The aorist middle participle protrepsamenoi {προτρεψάμενοι | pro-trep-sá-me-noi} ‘having encouraged’ precedes the main verb egrapsan {ἔγραψαν | é-gra-psan} ‘they wrote’, portraying the brothers’ exhortation as preparatory to their letter.
In context — Acts 18:27
When he wanted to cross into Achaia , the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. After he arrived, he provided considerable assistance to those who had believed through the grace.
