Footnotes
- 22 The expression “for the display of” is an attempt to convey in English the force of the Greek preposition εἰς (eis) in this context.
- 23 ἱκανόω states, “τινὰ εἴς τι someone for someth. Col 1:12.” The point of the text is that God has qualified the saints for a “share” or “portion” in the inheritance of the saints.
- 24 Grk “the inheritance of the saints.” The genitive noun τῶν ἁγίων (tōn hagiōn) is a possessive genitive: “the saints’ inheritance.”
