This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
15. εὐαγγελιζόμενοι, preaching unto you. Literally, ‘bringing you good tidings’ as the message must be which makes known to men a living God in the place of a dumb idol.

ἀπὸ τούτων τῶν ματαίων ἐπιστρέφειν, that ye should turn from these vain things. τὰ μάταια is a frequent expression in the LXX. for ‘false gods’; cf. 2Ki 17:15, καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ὀπίσω τῶν ματαίων. Also Jer 2:5; Lev 17:7, &c.
