Exegesis
The direct object hymas {ὑμᾶς | hymâs} ‘you’ is followed by the vocative adelphoi {ἀδελφοί | adelphoí} ‘brothers’, which adds familial warmth and solidarity to the appeal.
In context — Romans 15:30
But I urge you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit , to strive together with me in the prayers for me to God .
