G5547–Χριστός–Christos

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

Χριστοῦ Christou “Christ”

for the government of the world when the times are ripe for it--the purpose which He has cherished in His own mind of restoring the whole creation to find its one Head in Christ; yes, things in Heaven and things on earth, to find their one Head in Him.

Χριστῷ, Christō “Christ,”

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

Χριστῷ· Christō “Christ;”

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,

Χριστοῦ, Christou “Christ,”

when He displayed it in Christ by raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His own right hand in the heavenly realms,

Χριστῷ Christō “Christ”

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

Χριστῷ, Christō “Christ —”

raised us with Him from the dead, and enthroned us with Him in the heavenly realms as being in Christ Jesus,

Χριστῷ Christō “Christ”

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.

Χριστῷ Christō “Christ”

For we are God's own handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works which He has pre-destined us to practise.

Χριστῷ Christō “Christ”

At that time you were living apart from Christ, estranged from the Commonwealth of Israel, with no share by birth in the Covenants which are based on the Promises, and you had no hope and no God, in all the world.

Χριστοῦ Christou “Christ”

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were so far away have been brought near through the death of Christ.

Χριστῷ Christō “Christ”Χριστοῦ. Christou “of Christ.”

You are a building which has been reared on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, the cornerstone being Christ Jesus Himself,

Χριστοῦ Christou “Christ”

For this reason I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles--

Χριστοῦ Christou “of Christ”

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

Χριστοῦ, Christou “of Christ,”

I mean the truth that the Gentiles are joint heirs with us Jews, and that they form one body with us, and have the same interest as we have in the promise which has been made good in Christ Jesus through the Good News,

Χριστῷ Christō “Christ”

To me who am less than the least of all God's people has this work been graciously entrusted--to proclaim to the Gentiles the Good News of the exhaustless wealth of Christ,

Χριστοῦ Christou “of Christ”

and to show all men in a clear light what my stewardship is. It is the stewardship of the truth which from all the Ages lay concealed in the mind of God, the Creator of all things--

Χριστοῦ, Christou “Christ”

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

Χριστῷ Christō “Christ”

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

Χριστοῦ, Christou “Christ”

I pray that Christ may make His home in your hearts through your faith; so that having your roots deep and your foundations strong, in love, you may become mighty to grasp the idea,

Χριστὸν Christon “Christ”

yes, to attain to a knowledge of the knowledge-surpassing love of Christ, so that you may be made complete in accordance with God's own standard of completeness.

Χριστοῦ, Christou “of Christ,”

to Him be the glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, world without end! Amen.

Χριστῷ Christō “Christ”

Yet to each of us individually grace was given, measured out with the munificence of Christ.

Χριστοῦ. Christou “of Christ.”

in order fully to equip His people for the work of serving--for the building up of Christ's body--

Χριστοῦ· Christou “of Christ;”

till we all of us arrive at oneness in faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, and at mature manhood and the stature of full-grown men in Christ.

Χριστοῦ· Christou “of Christ;”
