    KAI ta NYN pa-ra-TI-the-mai hy-MAS tôi the-ÔI KAI tôi LO-gôi tês KHA-ri-tos au-TOU tôi dy-na-ME-nôi oi-ko-do-MÊ-sai KAI DOU-nai tên klê-ro-no-MI-an en tois hê-gi-as-ME-nois PA-sin

Exegesis

The object of dounai is tēn klēronomian {τὴν κληρονομίαν | tēn klēronomían} ‘the inheritance,’ and the prepositional en tois hēgiasmenois pasin {ἐν τοῖς ἡγιασμένοις πᾶσιν | en toîs hēgiasménois pâsin} ‘among all who have been sanctified’ broadens the scope. The single-sentence flow retains the progression from Paul’s entrustment to the efficacy of divine grace and the communal promise.
