{But I chose you} (all' eg(9320)exelexam(886e) humas). First
aorist middle indicative of ekleg(935c). See this same verb and
tense used for the choice of the disciples by Christ ( 6:70  13:18  15:19 ). Jesus recognizes his own responsibility in the
choice after a night of prayer ( Lu 6:13 ). So Paul was "a vessel
of choice" (skeuos eklog(8873),  Ac 9:15 ). Appointed (eth(886b)a).
First aorist active indicative (k aorist) of 	ith(886d)i. Note
three present active subjunctives with hina (purpose clause) to
emphasize continuance (hupag(8874)e, keep on going, pher(8874)e, keep
on bearing fruit, men(8869), keep on abiding), not a mere spurt,
but permanent growth and fruit-bearing. {He may give} (d(9369)).
Second aorist active subjunctive of did(936d)i with hina (purpose
clause). Cf.  14:13  for the same purpose and promise, but with
poi(8873)(935c) (I shall do). See also  16:23f.,26 .
