kai a-spa-SA-me-nos au-TOUS ek-sê-gê-I-to kath HEN HE-ka-ston hôn e-POI-ê-sen ho the-OS en tois ETH-ne-sin di-A tês di-a-ko-NI-as au-TOU
Exegesis
The prepositional-distributive phrase kathʼ hén hékaston {καθʼ ἓν ἕκαστον | kath' hén hékaston} functions adverbially to highlight the item-by-item nature of the account, rendered explicitly as “in detail” in the formal and idiomatically as “carefully” in the dynamic.
The relative genitive clause hōn epoíēsen ho theós {ὧν ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς | hōn epoíēsen ho theós} identifies God as the agent, with the dative phrase en toîs éthnesin {ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν | en toîs éthnesin} locating those deeds among the nations and the genitive instrument phrase diá tês diakonías autoû {διὰ τῆς διακονίας αὐτοῦ | diá tês diakonías autoû} indicating that God’s work was carried out through Paul’s service.
