Exegesis

The coordination kai hē charis autou hē eis eme {καὶ ἡ χάρις αὐτοῦ ἡ εἰς ἐμὲ | kaí hē chá-ris au-toû hē eis e-mé} uses repeated articles to specify “the grace of Him” and marks Paul as the recipient.

The final antithesis ouk egō de alla hē charis tou theou hē syn emoi {οὐκ ἐγὼ δὲ ἀλλὰ ἡ χάρις τοῦ θεοῦ ἡ σὺν ἐμοί | ouk e-gṓ dè al-lá hē chá-ris toû the-oû hē sún e-moí} contrasts Paul’s “I” with “the grace of God” as a sustaining presence.
