Purple text = Main verbal ideas of each section. [Bracketed] text = Any inserted or altered words to clarify meaning. Bold text = Major logical connecting words. Italic text = Antecedent and relative pronouns. __________________________________________________________ • The two "εν ω" intoductory phrases in v. 7 and 11 seem intentionally parallel, thus making their verbs, ἔχομεν and ἐκληρώθημεν. It could be argued, since the antecedents are in fact the same person, that they both point back to "the beloved", τῷ ἠγαπημένω, in v. 6, but the second rel. pronoun in v. 11 also points to its nearest referent, "him", αὐτῷ, in v. 10. • The SERIES of 7–12 & 13–14 is such because the subject of the verbs switches from "we" to "you". So the sense is, "this stuff is true of all of us ( inclusive of both author and audience), AND EVEN you ALSO heard and believed and were sealed..." **QUESTION: What is the exegetical, theological and pastoral difference between seeing these "we"s as either inclusive, exclusive or editorial? (Cf. Wallace, 393–396). **QUESTION: There is no explicit mention of faith exercised by the believer in all the logical discussion about the relationship between election & predestination on the one hand and redemption/forgiveness/grace/salvation/etc. in vv. 3–11. Can we say that vv. 7–14 are one syntactical unit that relates to 4–6 in a logical way? (I.e., God chose us … therefore we have redemption, obtained an inheritance, etc.) __________________________________________________________ MAIN POINT: God is blessed because he has done the entire work of redemption (i.e., blessing us...).
