Exegesis
The preposition apo {ἀπὸ | apó} with the genitive phrase tēs geneas tēs skolias tautēs {ἀπὸ τῆς γενεᾶς τῆς σκολιᾶς ταύτης | apó tēs geneâs tēs skoliâs taútēs} specifies separation from a defined group, ‘this crooked generation,’ where the demonstrative tautēs ‘this’ localizes the warning to Peter’s contemporaries and skolias ‘crooked’ conveys moral deviation. The English renderings preserve the coordination of the two main verbs, the durative force of the imperfect by “was exhorting” and “kept saying,” and the passive imperative as an appeal to seek rescue from corrupt societal patterns.
In context — Acts 2:40
And with many other words he testified and was exhorting them, saying, “Be saved from this crooked generation .”
