Exegesis
The coordinated phrase kai en tois sarkikois leitourgesai autois {καὶ ἐν τοῖς σαρκικοῖς λειτουργῆσαι αὐτοῖς | kaí en toîs sar-ki-koîs lei-tour-gê-sai au-toîs} sets up a parallel between spiritual participation and material ministry: the prepositional en with the dative “material things” marks the sphere in which the infinitive leitourgesai ‘to minister’ is to be carried out, and autois identifies the beneficiaries. The Greek sentence thus moves from voluntary pleasure, to recognized indebtedness, to a conditional argument that grounds material service in prior spiritual sharing, which is reflected in English by preserving the two gar clauses and the “if… also” conditional structure.
In context — Romans 15:27
For they were pleased, and they are indeed debtors to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they also are obliged to minister to them in material things.
