rwp @Ephesians:3:8 @{Unto me who am less than the least of all saints } (\emoi t “i elachistoter “i pant “n hagi “n \). Dative case \emoi \ with \eloth ˆ\. The peculiar form \elachistoter “i \ (in apposition with \emoi \) is a comparative (\-teros \) formed on the superlative \elachistos \. This sort of thing was already done in the older Greek like \eschatoteros \ in Xenophon . It became more common in the _Koin ‚ _ . Songs:the double comparative \meizoteran \ in strkjv @3John:1:4 |. The case of \hagi “n \ is ablative . This was not mock humility (15:19 |), for on occasion Paul stood up for his rights as an apostle (2Corinthians:11:5 |). {The unsearchable riches of Christ } (\to anexichniaston ploutos tou Christou \). \Anexichniastos \ (\a \ privative and verbal of \exichniaz “\, to track out , \ex \ and \ichnos \, track ) appears first in strkjv @Job:5:9 ; strkjv @9:10 |. Paul apparently got it from Job . Nowhere else in N .T . except strkjv @Romans:11:33 |. In later Christian writers . Paul undertook to track out the untrackable in Christ .
