Exegesis
The genitive tou theou {τοῦ θεοῦ | toû theoû} ‘of God’ is clarified through two relative clauses: hou eimi {οὗ εἰμι | hoû eimí} ‘of whom I am’, denoting belonging to God, and hō kai latreuō {ᾧ καὶ λατρεύω | hôi kaí latréuō} ‘whom I also serve’, expressing ongoing worshipful service.
In context — Acts 27:23
For this night an angel of God stood beside me—God to whom I belong and whom I also serve.
