Exegesis
The dative phrase tois pepisteukosin {τοῖς πεπιστευκόσιν | toîs pe-pis-teu-kó-sin} ‘those who had believed’ highlights the recipients of his aid, and the prepositional phrase dia tēs charitos {διὰ τῆς χάριτος | di-á tēs chá-ri-tos} ‘through the grace’ indicates the source of their faith and his effective ministry. English renders the participial structures with temporal clauses and finite verbs for clarity of sequence.
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.
