{Hath shut up} (sunekleisen). First aorist active
indicative of sunklei(935c), to shut together like a net ( Lu 5:6 ).
See Ga 3:22 for this word with hupo hamartian (under sin).
This is a resultant (effective) aorist because of the disbelief
and disobedience of both Gentile ( 1:17-32 ) and Jew
( 2:1-3:20 ). {All} ( ous pantas). "The all" (both Gentiles and
Jews). {That he might have mercy} (hina--ele(8873)(8869)). Purpose with
hina and aorist active subjunctive. No merit in anyone, but all
of grace. "The all" again, who receive God's mercy, not that
"all" men are saved.
