Exegesis
The particle hos {ὡς | hôs} introduces a purpose nuance “so as, in order that,” governing the aorist infinitive teleiosai {τελειῶσαι | te-lei-ô-sai} “to complete,” which takes as its objects both ton dromon mou {τὸν δρόμον μου | tòn dró-mon mou} “my course” and ten diakonian {τὴν διακονίαν | tḕn di-a-ko-ní-an} “the ministry.”
In context — Acts 20:24
But I do not consider my life precious to myself of any account, so that I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus , to testify to the gospel of the grace of God .
