Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en Christō Iēsou {ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ | en Christō Iēsou} functions as a sphere or realm modifier, indicating that this cooperative work takes place within the relationship and mission defined by Christ Jesus. English word order moves “my fellow workers” closer to the names for clarity, while keeping the prepositional phrase “in Christ Jesus” at the end to preserve its climactic theological emphasis on the shared union and ministry context.
Root and etymology
