G3165–μέ–me

May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

ἡμῶν hēmōn “of us”

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has crowned us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ;

ἡμῶν hēmōn “of us”ἡμᾶς hēmas “us”

even as, in His love, He chose us as His own in Christ before the creation of the world, that we might be holy and without blemish in His presence.

ἡμᾶς hēmas “us”ἡμᾶς hēmas “for us”

For He pre-destined us to be adopted by Himself as sons through Jesus Christ--such being His gracious will and pleasure--

ἡμᾶς hēmas “us”

to the praise of the splendour of His grace with which He has enriched us in the beloved One.

ἡμᾶς hēmas “us”

the grace which He, the possessor of all wisdom and understanding, lavished upon us,

ἡμᾶς hēmas “us”

when He made known to us the secret of His will. And this is in harmony with God's merciful purpose

ἡμῖν hēmin “to us”

so that we should be devoted to the extolling of His glorious attributes--we who were the first to fix our hopes on Christ.

ἡμᾶς hēmas “us”

that Spirit being a pledge and foretaste of our inheritance, in anticipation of its full redemption--the inheritance which He has purchased to be specially His for the extolling of His glory.

ἡμῶν hēmōn “of us”

offer never ceasing thanks on your behalf while I make mention of you in my prayers.

μου mou “of mine”

For I always beseech the God of our Lord Jesus Christ--the Father most glorious--to give you a spirit of wisdom and penetration through an intimate knowledge of Him,

ἡμῶν hēmōn “of us”

and what the transcendent greatness of His power in us believers as seen in the working of His infinite might

ἡμᾶς hēmas “us”

Among them all of us also formerly passed our lives, governed by the inclinations of our lower natures, indulging the cravings of those natures and of our own thoughts, and were in our original state deserving of anger like all others.

ἡμεῖς hēmeis “we ourselves”ἡμῶν hēmōn “of us”

But God, being rich in mercy, because of the intense love which He bestowed on us,

ἡμᾶς, hēmas “us,”

caused us, dead though we were through our offences, to live with Christ--it is by grace that you have been saved--

ἡμᾶς hēmas “we”

in order that, by His goodness to us in Christ Jesus, He might display in the Ages to come the transcendent riches of His grace.

ἡμᾶς hēmas “us”

For He is our peace--He who has made Jews and Gentiles one, and in His own human nature has broken down the hostile dividing wall,

ἡμῶν, hēmōn “of us,”

if, that is, you have heard of the work which God has graciously entrusted to me for your benefit,

μοι moi “to me”

and that by a revelation the truth hitherto kept secret was made known to me as I have already briefly explained it to you.

μοι moi “to me”

By means of that explanation, as you read it, you can judge of my insight into the truth of Christ

μου mou “of mine”

in which I have been appointed to serve, in virtue of the work which God, in the exercise of His power within me, has graciously entrusted to me.

μοι moi “to me”

Such was the eternal purpose which He had formed in Christ Jesus our Lord,

ἡμῶν, hēmōn “of us,”

Therefore I entreat you not to lose heart in the midst of my sufferings on your behalf, for they bring you honour.

μου mou “of mine”

For this reason, on bended knee I beseech the Father,

μου mou “of mine”ἡμῶν hēmōn “of us”

Now to Him who, in exercise of His power that is at work within us, is able to do infinitely beyond all our highest prayers or thoughts--

ἡμῖν, hēmin “us,”
