Exegesis
The clause argyrion kai chrysion ouch hyparchei moi {Ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον οὐχ ὑπάρχει μοι | Ar-gý-ri-on kaí khry-sí-on oukh hy-pár-khei moi} front-loads the direct objects “silver and gold” for emphasis, followed by the verb–dative expression “are not present to me,” a common Greek idiom for lack of possession.
In context — Acts 3:6
But Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have, this I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, walk .”
