Exegesis
The adverb hoútōs {οὕτως | hoú-tōs} ‘thus’ connects to latreúō tō patrōîō theō {λατρεύω τῷ πατρῴῳ θεῷ | la-treú-ō tō pa-trō-í-ō the-ō} ‘I serve the ancestral God’, where the dative marks the object of cultic service.
In context — Acts 24:14
Yet this I confess to you: that I serve the ancestral God in accordance with the Way which they call a sect, believing all things that are according to the Law and the things written in the prophets.
