Exegesis
This is then restricted by the participial phrase tous ontas en Kyriō {τοὺς ὄντας ἐν Κυρίῳ | toús óntas en Kyríō}, an accusative substantival participle functioning attributively, so that only those household members who are presently ‘in the Lord’ are greeted. The repeated tous before ontas creates a clear delimiting structure, emphasizing that Paul’s concern is specifically for the believers within that household. In English, the two imperatives are preserved for rhetorical parallelism, while the participial construction is rendered as a relative clause (“who are in the Lord”) to maintain clarity and the restrictive force of the Greek syntax.
