Exegesis
The verse opens with the genitive absolute construction anantirretōn ontōn toutōn {Ἀναντιρρήτων ὄντων τούτων | Anantirrhḗtōn Óntōn Toútōn} “with these things being undeniable,” which sets the factual basis for the exhortation. The participle ontōn agrees in case, number, and gender with both anantirretōn and toutōn, forming a self-contained circumstantial clause that is best rendered in English with “since.”
Root and etymology
krazokappa–rho–alpha–zeta–omega
“to cry out loudly, shout”
In context — Acts 19:36
Therefore, since these things are undeniable, it is necessary for you to be quiet and to do nothing rash .
