A.T. Robertson Commentary Ephesians 2:4

"but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us," — Ephesians 2:4 (ASV)

But God (ο δε θεος). Change in the structure of the sentence here, resuming verse 1 after the break.

Being rich in mercy (πλουσιος ων εν ελεε). More than ελεημων (being merciful).

Wherewith (ην). Cognate accusative with ηγαπησεν (loved).
