Exegesis
The closing participial clause kai autoi ontes en somati {καὶ αὐτοὶ ὄντες ἐν σώματι | kaí autoí óntes en sṓmati} ‘and you yourselves being in a body’ grounds the exhortation in shared embodied existence, with autoi intensifying the subject and en somati expressing the sphere of human vulnerability. English reshapes the comparative and participial constructions into clauses of manner and causal nuance (“as though…,” “since you…”) to preserve the logic of solidarity and physical identification that the Greek syntax emphasizes through repetition and parallelism.
In context — Hebrews 13:3
Remember the prisoners as though you yourselves are bound with them, and those who are being mistreated, as you yourselves are also in the body .
