Exegesis
The combination of the present participle latreuon with the present indicative elpizei {ἐλπίζει | el-pí-zei} ‘hopes’ portrays ongoing worship intertwined with ongoing expectation, while the aorist infinitive katantesai {καταντῆσαι | ka-tan-tê-sai} ‘to attain’ supplies the content or goal of that hope.
In context — Acts 26:7
To which our twelve tribes , serving with earnest devotion night and day, hope to attain; concerning which hope I am accused by Jews, O king.
