Exegesis
The infinitive genesthai {γενέσθαι | genésthai} conveys the desired transformation, with the qualitative phrase toioutous hopoios kai egō eimi {τοιούτους ὁποῖος καὶ ἐγώ εἰμι | toioútous hopoîos kaí egṓ eimí} setting Paul’s likeness as the model.
In context — Acts 26:29
But Paul said, “I would wish to God that, whether in a little or in much, not only you but also all who are hearing me today might become such as I am—except for these chains .”
