This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I have all things (apechō panta). As a receipt in full in appreciation of their kindness. Apechō is common in the papyri and the ostraca for “receipt in full” (Deissmann, Bible Studies, p. 110). See Mat 6:2, Mat 6:5, Mat 6:16.
I am filled (peplērōmai). Perfect passive indicative of plēroō. “Classical Greek would hardly use the word in this personal sense” (Kennedy).
An odour of a sweet smell (osmēn euōdias). Osmē, old word from ozō, to smell. Euōdia, old word from eu and ozō. In Eph 5:2 both words come together as here and in 2Co 2:15 we have euōdia (only other N.T. example) and in verse 2Co 2:16 osmē twice. Euōdias here is genitive of quality.
Sacrifice (thusian). Not the act, but the offering as in Rom 12:1.
Well-pleasing (euareston). As in Rom 12:1.
