Exegesis
The articular participle tō dynamenō {τῷ δυναμένῳ | tôi dynaménō} ‘to the one who is able’ qualifies that word and governs the aorist infinitives oikodomēsai {οἰκοδομῆσαι | oikodomêsai} ‘to build up’ and dounai {δοῦναι | doûnai} ‘to give.’
In context — Acts 20:32
And now I entrust you to God and to the word of His grace ; it is able to strengthen you and to give you the inheritance among all those who have been sanctified.
