Exegesis
The conjunction kai coordinates prosphoras {προσφοράς | pros-pho-rás} with eleemosynas, yielding a compound object conceptually dependent on the idea of bringing or presenting, so that Paul’s journey had a dual focus: practical relief (alms) and cultic devotion (offerings). This syntactic structure portrays Paul not as an agitator but as a benefactor and worshiper acting for the good of his people.
Root and etymology
pherophi–epsilon–rho–omega
“to bear, carry, bring”
In context — Acts 24:17
But after many years I came to bring alms to my nation and offerings.
