Exegesis
In the first clause, the direct object is Apellen {Ἀπελλῆν | Apellên}, further specified by the appositional phrase ton dokimon en Christo {τὸν δόκιμον ἐν Χριστῷ | tón dókimon en Christō}, literally “the approved one in Christ.”
The adjective dokimon {δόκιμον | dókimon} carries the nuance of having been tested and found genuine, and the prepositional phrase en Christo {ἐν Χριστῷ | en Christō} frames the sphere or realm in which this approval holds, reflecting Pauline theology of union with Christ.
In context — Romans 16:10
Greet Apelles, the approved one in Christ ; greet those from the household of Aristobulus .
