Exegesis
This is further specified by the genitive phrase tēs apo tou theou {τῆς ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ | tēs apó tou theoû}, where the article plus prepositional phrase functions adjectivally, defining the help as that which is “from God.”
The temporal limit achri tēs hēmeras tautēs {ἄχρι τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης | áchri tēs hēméras taútēs} frames Paul’s ongoing state “until this day.”
