Exegesis
The object phrase ou ten tuchousan philanthropian {οὐ τὴν τύχουσαν φιλανθρωπίαν | ou tên TÚ-khou-san phi-lan-thrō-PÍ-an} uses the negative ou plus the participle tuchousan functioning adjectivally with the sense “usual, ordinary” to deny that the kindness was merely typical, thus intensifying the philanthropy being described.
In context — Acts 28:2
The foreigners also showed us not the usual kindness , for after kindling a fire they welcomed us all because of the rain that was upon us and because of the cold.
