Phil. 2:19
ELPIZW DE EN KURIWi IHSOU TIMOQEON TACEWS PEMYAI hUMIN
This expression seems slightly awkward to me. I guess I am
not quite sure what hoping "IN" the Lord Jesus means in this
context.
Elsewhere, Paul uses qualifying phrases for ELPIZW, such as
EAN hO KURIOS EPITREYHi (1 Cor. 16:7) or,
EAN hO KURIOS QELHSHi (1 Cor. 4:19)
Without such a qualifying conditional,
how would you understand this ELPIZW DE EN KURIWi IHSOU
in Phil 2:19?
Looking at Wallace's Basic uses of EN, I can't seem to find
one that makes a whole lot of sense here:
"in the sphere of the Lord"
"because of the Lord" (for the sake of the Lord???)
"with respect to the Lord"
"in accordance with the Lord"
Thank you,
Mark Wilson
