This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
We have had (eschēkamen). Perfect active indicative of echō (same verb as echōmen), still have it.
Our access (ten prosagōgēn). Old word from prosagō, to bring to, to introduce. Hence “introduction,” “approach.” Elsewhere in N.T. only Eph 2:18; Eph 3:12.
Wherein we stand (en hēi hestēkamen). Perfect active (intransitive) indicative of histēmi. Grace is here present as a field into which we have been introduced and where we stand and we should enjoy all the privileges of this grace about us.
Let us rejoice (kauchōmetha). “Let us exult.” Present middle subjunctive (volitive) because echōmen is accepted as correct. The exhortation is that we keep on enjoying peace with God and keep on exulting in hope of the glory of God.
