Exegesis
The infinitive procheirisasthai se {προχειρίσασθαί σε | procheirísasthai se} ‘to appoint you’ governs the accusatives hypēretēn kai martyra {ὑπηρέτην καὶ μάρτυρα | hypēretḗn kaí márτυρα} ‘servant and witness,’ joined by te {τε | te} ‘both,’ defining Paul’s roles.
The genitive relative clauses hôn te eides me te hôn te ophthēsomai soi {ὧν τε εἶδές με τε ὧν τε ὀφθήσομαί σοι | hôn te eîdes me te hôn te ophthḗsomai soi} ‘of which both you saw me and of which both I will appear to you’ balance past and future revelations, highlighting the continuity of Christ’s disclosure.
