Exegesis
The preposition met' {μετʼ | met'} with a genitive object indicates accompaniment or manner, governing the coordinated genitives exousias kai epitropes {ἐξουσίας καὶ ἐπιτροπῆς | exousías kaí epitropês}. These two abstract nouns form a hendiadys-like pair that conveys the official nature of Paul’s mandate (“authority and commission”).
