Exegesis
The verse opens with the main clause axioumen de para sou akousai ha phroneis {ἀξιοῦμεν δὲ παρὰ σοῦ ἀκοῦσαι ἃ φρονεῖς | axioûmen dè parà soû akoûsai ha phroneîs}, where the finite verb axioumen governs the complementary infinitive akousai and the relative clause ha phroneis as its object, forming the request “we desire to hear from you what you think.” The prepositional phrase para sou identifies Paul as the source of the desired information.
In context — Acts 28:22
But we desire to hear from you what you think; for concerning this sect , it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against .
