Exegesis
The verse begins with the dative phrase chariti de theou {χάριτι δὲ θεοῦ | chá-ri-ti dè the-oû}, where “by grace” with the genitive “of God” foregrounds divine initiative.
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.
