Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en tō hierō {ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ | en tō hi-er-ṓ} “in the temple” provides a public, sacred setting for this united devotion.
Two prepositional phrases, en agalliasei {ἐν ἀγαλλιάσει | en a-gal-li-á-sei} “in exultation” and en aphelotēti kardias {ἐν ἀφελότητι καρδίας | en a-phe-lo-tē-ti kar-dí-as} “in sincerity of heart,” describe the inner disposition accompanying their fellowship, combining exuberant joy with transparent, undivided hearts. The translations preserve the participial structure and imperfect aspect by using progressive forms and by reflecting the temple-to-house movement that shapes the community’s life.
