Exegesis
The narrative resumes with parēnei ho Paulos {παρῄνει ὁ Παῦλος | pa-rē-néi ho Paû-los} in the imperfect, emphasizing Paul’s ongoing counsel. English renders genitive absolutes as subordinate temporal and circumstantial clauses and the articular infinitive as a finite causal clause to preserve narrative flow.
In context — Acts 27:9
After considerable time had passed and the voyage was already becoming dangerous because the Fast had already gone by, Paul began to advise them.
