Exegesis
The preposition meta {μετὰ | metá} governs a string of genitives, beginning with pases tapeinophrosynes {πάσης ταπεινοφροσύνης | pásēs tapeinophrosýnēs} “all humility,” then dakruon {δακρύων | dakrýōn} “tears,” and peirasmon {πειρασμῶν | peirasmôn} “trials.” This coordinated series presents a cumulative description of the emotional and experiential character of Paul’s service.
In context — Acts 20:19
Serving the Lord with all humility and tears, and with the trials that happened to me in the plots of the Jews.
