Dear Gedson,
(Your English isn't bad; my Portuguese is almost non existant.) And far(!)
from being a master of Greek (not to even mention my lack of
illustriousness...), I offer, if not more than as conversation fodder,
that the aorist participle PISTEUSANTES is temporally dependent upon the
time of the main verb, ESFRAGISQHTE. Thus, the *time* that they "were
sealed" is concurrent with (coincidir) the *time* of the dependent
participle: the time that they believed.
