Exegesis
Finally, the coordinated datives logo kai ergo {λόγῳ καὶ ἔργῳ | lógō kaí érgō} function as datives of means or manner, indicating that Christ’s work through Paul operates “by word and deed,” balancing proclamation and practice. English syntax is adjusted to place “except” before the relative clause and to make explicit the purposive nuance of eis, while preserving the emphasis on Christ as the true agent working through Paul.
In context — Romans 15:18
For I will not dare to speak of anything except those things which Christ has accomplished through me for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and by deed .
