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.
The dative phrase tois mathētais {τοῖς μαθηταῖς | toîs ma-thē-taîs} ‘to the disciples’ marks the recipients of the letter, and the infinitive apodexasthai {ἀποδέξασθαι | a-po-dé-xas-thai} ‘to welcome’ conveys the desired response.
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.
