Greetings

Does QEOSEBHS mean a 'gentile sympathizer of Judaism' or just a 'pious or 
devout Jew?' L. Robert feels that it is 'pious or devout Jew.' Robert, NIS. 
Paris, 1964, pp. 39-45.

Is 'God-fearer' a proper translation of FOBOUMENOI TON QHON (Acts 10:1-2; 
10:22; 13:16; 13:26)? If they are synonomous, then why the shift to 
SEBOMENOI TON QEON (13:50; 16:14; 18:6-7)?

What is the best way to take the accusatives?

Thanks
