Hath shut up (sunekleisen). Did shut together. First aorist active indicative of sunkleiō, old verb to shut together, on all sides, completely as a shoal of fish in a net (Luk 5:6). So Gal 3:23; Rom 11:32.
Under sin (hupo hamartian). See hupo kataran in Gal 3:10. As if the lid closed in on us over a massive chest that we could not open or as prisoners in a dungeon. He uses ta panta (the all things), the totality of everything. See Rom 3:10-19; Rom 11:32.
That (hina). God’s purpose, personifying scripture again.
Might be given (dothēi). First aorist passive subjunctive of didōmi with hina.
