Exegesis
The dative tō Christō {τῷ Χριστῷ | tō Christṓ} marks Christ as the beneficiary of the service.
Two predicate adjectives, euarestos {εὐάρεστος | euárestos} and dokimos {δόκιμος | dókimos}, each take an implied copula and are governed by dative phrases: tō theō {τῷ θεῷ | tō theṓ} for divine approval, and tois anthropois {τοῖς ἀνθρώποις | tois anthrṓpois} for human commendation.
