7. οὗ ἐγενήθην διάκονος. Cf. Col 1:23; Col 1:25; Act 20:24; 2Co 4:1; 2Co 5:18; 1Ti 1:12. A humble word for servant which may have owed its attractiveness for St Paul to its use in words of the Lord (Mar 10:43; Luk 22:26; Joh 12:26).
κατὰ τὴν ἐνέργειαν τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ. Cf. Eph 1:19, Eph 3:20. St Paul is conscious in himself of the working of the power which he prays that others may know. Cf. Col 1:29.
