rwp @Ephesians:1:6 @{To the praise } (\eis epainon \). Note the prepositions in this sentence . {Which } (\h ˆs \). Genitive case of the relative \h ˆn \ (cognate accusative with \echarit “sen \ (he freely bestowed ), late verb \charito “\ (from \charis \, grace ), in N .T . attracted to case of antecedent \charitos \ only here and strkjv @Luke:1:28 |. {In the Beloved } (\en t “i ˆgap ˆmen “i \). Perfect passive participle of \agapa “\. This phrase nowhere else in the N .T . though in the Apostolic Fathers . rwp @Ephesians:1:7 @{In whom } (\en h “i \). Just like strkjv @Colossians:1:14 | with \parapt “mat “n \ (trespasses ) in place of \hamarti “n \ (sins ) and with the addition of \dia tou haimatos autou \ (through his blood ) as in strkjv @Colossians:1:20 |. Clearly Paul makes the blood of Christ the cost of redemption , the ransom money (\lutron \, strkjv @Matthew:20:28 ; strkjv @Mark:10:45 |; \antilutron \, strkjv @1Timothy:2:6 |). See strkjv @Colossians:1:9 |. rwp @Ephesians:1:8 @{According to the riches of his grace } (\kata to ploutos t ˆs charitos autou \). A thoroughly Pauline phrase , riches of kindness (Romans:2:4 |), riches of glory (Colossians:1:27 ; strkjv @Ephesians:3:16 ; strkjv @Phillipians:4:19 |), riches of fulness of understanding (Colossians:2:7 |), riches of Christ (Ephesians:3:8 |), and in strkjv @Ephesians:2:7 | "the surpassing riches of grace ." {Which } (\h ˆs \). Genitive attracted again to case of antecedent \charitos \.
