Ephesians 1:8

Wherein He hath abounded [η ς ε π ε ρ ι σ σ ε υ σ ε ν]. Rev., correctly, which He made to abound. The verb is used both transitively and intransitively in the New Testament. The transitive use belongs mainly to later Greek. Compare, for the transitive sense, Matthew 13:12; 2 Corinthians 4:15.

In all wisdom and prudence [ε ν π α σ η σ ο φ ι α κ α ι φ ρ ο ν η σ ε ι]. For wisdom, see on Romans 11:33. For prudence, on Luke 1:17. The latter is an attribute or result of wisdom, concerned with its practical applications. Both words refer here to men, not to God : the wisdom and prudence with which He abundantly endows His followers. Compare Colossians 1:9. All wisdom is, properly, every kind of wisdom.
