Exegesis
The clause hestōs eimi {ἑστώς εἰμι | hes-tṓs ei-mi} forms a periphrastic construction using a perfect participle plus the present of ‘to be’, emphasizing Paul’s current state as one who has taken his stand and remains before the court.
In context — Acts 25:10
But Paul said, “I am standing at Caesar ’s judgment seat , where I ought to be judged; I have done nothing wrong to the Jews, as you yourself know better.”
