Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish
ἰσχύϊ καὶ δυνάμει μείζονες ὄντες

Alternate translation: “despite being greater in strength and power” (2) a description of the angels. Alternate translation: “who are greater in strength and power”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ἰσχύϊ καὶ δυνάμει μείζονες ὄντες
˱in˲_strength and power greater being

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ἰσχύϊ καὶ δυνάμει μείζονες ὄντες
