G3588–ὁ–ho

For I have found great joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of God's people have been, and are, refreshed through you, my brother.

τῇ tēa “the”τὰ ta “the”τῶν tōn “of the”

Therefore, though I might with Christ's authority speak very freely and order you to do what is fitting,

τὸ to “what [is]”

it is for love's sake that--instead of that--although I am none other than Paul the aged, and am now also a prisoner for Christ Jesus,

τὴν tēn “<the>”

I entreat you on behalf of my own child whose father I have become while in my chains--I mean Onesimus.

τοῦ tou “<the>”τοῖς tois “the”

Formerly he was useless to you, but now--true to his name--he is of great use to you and to me.

τόν ton “<the>”

I am sending him back to you, though in so doing I send part of myself.

τὰ ta “<the>”

It was my wish to keep him at my side for him to attend to my wants, as your representative, during my imprisonment for the Good News.

τοῖς tois “the”τοῦ tou “of the”

Only I wished to do nothing without your consent, so that his kind action of yours might not be done under pressure, but might be a voluntary one.

τῆς tēs “<the>”τὸ to “the”

I Paul write this with my own hand--I will pay you in full. (I say nothing of the fact that you owe me even your own self.)

τῇ tēa “<the>”

Yes, brother, do me this favour for the Lord's sake. Refresh my heart in Christ.

τὰ ta “<the>”

I write to you in the full confidence that you will meet my wishes, for I know you will do even more than I say.

τῇ tēa “the”

And at the same time provide accommodation for me; for I hope that through your prayers I shall be permitted to come to you.

τῶν tōn “the”

Greetings to you, my brother, from Epaphras my fellow prisoner for the sake of Christ Jesus;

ὁ ho “<the>”

and from Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.

οἱ hoi “the”

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with the spirit of every one of you.

ἡ hē “The”τοῦ tou “of the”τοῦ tou “the”

God, who in ancient days spoke to our forefathers in many distinct messages and by various methods through the Prophets,

ὁ ho “<the>”τοῖς tois “to the”τοῖς tois “the”

has at the end of these days spoken to us through a Son, who is the pre-destined Lord of the universe, and through whom He made the Ages.

τῶν tōn “of the”τοὺς tous “the”

He brightly reflects God's glory and is the exact representation of His being, and upholds the universe by His all-powerful word. After securing man's purification from sin He took His seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

τῆς tēs “<the>”τῆς tēs “of the”τὰ ta “<the>”τῷ tō “by the”τῆς tēs “of the”τῶν tōn “<the>”τῆς tēs “of the”

having become as far superior to the angels as the Name He possesses by inheritance is more excellent than theirs.

τῶν tōn “to the”

For to which of the angels did God ever say, "My Son art Thou: I have this day become Thy Father;" and again, "I will be a Father to Him, and He shall be My Son"?

τῶν tōn “of the”

But speaking of the time when He once more brings His Firstborn into the world, He says, "And let all God's angels worship Him."

τὸν ton “the”τὴν tēn “the”

Moreover of the angels He says, "He changes His angels into winds, and His ministering servants into a flame of fire."

τοὺς tous “the”ὁ ho “The [One]”τοὺς tous “the”τοὺς tous “the”

But of His Son, He says, "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and for ever, and the sceptre of Thy Kingdom is a sceptre of absolute justice.

τὸν ton “the”ὁ ho “The”ὁ ho “O”τὸν ton “the”τοῦ tou “of the”ἡ hē “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”τῆς tēs “of the”

Thou hast loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, Thy God, has anointed Thee with the oil of gladness beyond Thy companions."

ὁ ho “<the>”ὁ ho “the”τοὺς tous “the”

It is also of His Son that God says, "Thou, O Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Thy hands.
