rwp@John:15:16 @{But I chose you} (\all' eg exelexamn humas\). First aorist middle indicative of \ekleg\. See this same verb and tense used for the choice of the disciples by Christ (6:70; strkjv@13:18; strkjv@15:19|). Jesus recognizes his own responsibility in the choice after a night of prayer (Luke:6:13|). Songs:Paul was "a vessel of choice" (\skeuos eklogs\, strkjv@Acts:9:15|). Appointed (\ethka\). First aorist active indicative (\k\ aorist) of \tithmi\. Note three present active subjunctives with \hina\ (purpose clause) to emphasize continuance (\hupagte\, keep on going, \pherte\, keep on bearing fruit, \meni\, keep on abiding), not a mere spurt, but permanent growth and fruit-bearing. {He may give} (\di\). Second aorist active subjunctive of \didmi\ with \hina\ (purpose clause). Cf. strkjv@14:13| for the same purpose and promise, but with \pois\ (I shall do). See also strkjv@16:23f.,26|.

rwp@Romans:9:11 @{The children being not yet born} (\mp gennthentn\). Genitive absolute with first aorist passive participle of \genna\, to beget, to be born, though no word for children nor even the pronoun \autn\ (they). {Neither having done anything good or bad} (\mde praxantn ti agathon phaulon\). Genitive absolute again with first active participle of \prass\. On \phaulon\, see strkjv@2Corinthians:5:10|. {The purpose of God} (\h prothesis tou theou\). See strkjv@8:28| for \prothesis\. {According to election} (\kat' eklogn\). Old word from \ekleg\, to select, to choose out. See strkjv@1Thessalonians:1:4|. Here it is the purpose (\prothesis\) of God which has worked according to the principles of election. {Not of works} (\ouk ex ergn\). Not of merit.

rwp@Romans:11:5 @{Remnant} (\limma\). Old word, but only here in N.T., but in papyri also and with this spelling rather than \leimma\. From \leip\, to leave. {According to the election of grace} (\kat' eklogn charitos\). As in strkjv@9:6-13|. The election is all of God. Verse 6| explains it further.

rwp@Romans:11:7 @{What then?} (\ti oun?\). Since God did not push Israel away (verse 1|), what is true? {The election} (\h eklog\). Abstract for concrete (the elect). {Obtained} (\epetuchen\). Second aorist active indicative of \epitugchan\, old verb, to hit upon, only here in Paul. See strkjv@9:30-33| for the failure of the Jews. {Were hardened} (\eprthsan\). First aorist passive indicative of \pro\, late verb, to cover with thick skin (\pros\). See on strkjv@2Corinthians:3:14; strkjv@Mark:3:5|.
