Exegesis

The clause syndoulos sou eimi {σύνδουλός σού εἰμι | sýndoulos soú eimí} identifies the speaker as a “fellow servant,” and is coordinated with the genitival phrase tōn adelphōn sou tōn echóntōn tēn martyrían Iēsoû {τῶν ἀδελφῶν σου τῶν ἐχόντων τὴν μαρτυρίαν Ἰησοῦ | tōn adelphōn sou tōn echóntōn tēn martyrían Iēsoû}, where the articular participle echóntōn forms a relative idea “who have the testimony of Jesus.” This establishes solidarity between the angelic speaker and human believers.
