ka-tar-TI-sai hy-MAS en pan-TI a-ga-THÔ eis to poi-Ê-sai to THE-lê-ma au-TOU poi-ÔN en hê-MEEN to eu-AR-es-ton e-NÔ-pi-on au-TOU di-A ee-ay-SOO khree-STOO hôi hê DO-ksa eis tous ai-Ô-nas a-MÊN
Exegesis
The construction eis to poiēsai to thélēma autoû {εἰς τὸ ποιῆσαι τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ | eis tò poiêsai tò thélēma autoû} is a telic eis with an articular infinitive expressing purpose: the goal of the equipping is to do His will.
The present active participle poiōn {ποιῶν | poiôn} agrees with the implicit subject (God) and introduces a participial clause elaborating the means and result: en hēmîn {ἐν ἡμῖν | en hēmîn} ‘in us’ and to euáreston enṓpion autoû {τὸ εὐάρεστον ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ | tò euáreston enṓpion autoû} ‘what is well-pleasing before Him,’ highlighting divine approval.
In context — Hebrews 13:21
Equip you in every good thing to do His will, by working in us what is well-pleasing before Him through Jesus Christ . To Him be the glory forever. Amen.
