Exegesis
The final coordinated object is tous syn autois pantas hagious {τοὺς σὺν αὐτοῖς πάντας ἁγίους | toùs sùn autoîs pántas hagíous}, where the article tous functions with the attributive prepositional phrase syn autois {σὺν αὐτοῖς | sùn autoîs} ‘with them’ and the adjective pantas {πάντας | pántas} ‘all’ to modify hagious {ἁγίους | hagíous} ‘saints’. This structure emphasizes not only the named individuals but also their wider circle of holy ones associated with them. English requires relative clauses to unpack the Greek attributive structure, so “all the saints who are with them” and “all the believers who are with them” are used to preserve the sense of corporate fellowship while keeping the list readable.
