‏ Acts 6:10

They were not able to withstand ( ουκ ισχυον αντιστηνα ). Imperfect active of ισχυω, to have strength, and ingressive second aorist active (intransitive) infinitive of ανθιστημ. They continued unable (without strength enough) to take a stand against. Stephen knocked them down, Saul included, as fast as they got up. Stephen was like a battery charged and in action.

The wisdom and spirit ( τη σοφια κα πνευματ ). Dative case. They stood up against Stephen's wisdom and the Holy Spirit "by whom he spoke" ( ω ελαλε ). Instrumental case and the relative agrees with "Spirit." He kept on speaking so ( ελαλε, imperfect active). It was a desperate situation.
