Exegesis
The second relative clause, hoi kai pro emou gegonan en Christo {οἳ καὶ πρὸ ἐμοῦ γέγοναν ἐν Χριστῷ | hoí kaí prò emoû gégonan en Christō}, links with kai ‘also’ and the temporal marker pro emou ‘before me’, while the perfect gegonan stresses their enduring union with Christ, denoted by en Christo as the sphere of their life.
