Exegesis
The participle ἐπικαλεσάμενος {ἐπικαλεσάμενος | epikalesámenos} is coordinated with ἀναστάς and conveys the means by which the washing away occurs: “calling upon the name of him,” τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ {τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ | tó ónoma autoû}. Positioned after the imperatives, this participial phrase carries instrumental emphasis, linking invocation of the divine name to forgiveness in baptism. The English rendering uses a direct question followed by coordinated commands, rendering participles as finite or gerundial forms (“Stand up,” “calling upon”) to preserve natural flow and reflect the logical sequence.
