Ephesians 1:13

Ye also (kai umeiv). Ye Gentiles (now Christians), in contrast to hmav (we) in Ephesians 1:12.

In whom (en w). Repeated third time (once in verse Ephesians 1:11, twice in Ephesians 1:13), and note o or ov in Ephesians 1:14.

Ye were sealed (esfragisqhte). First aorist passive indicative of sfragizw, old verb, to set a seal on one as a mark or stamp, sometimes the marks of ownership or of worship of deities like stigmata (Galatians 6:17). Marked and authenticated as God's heritage as in Ephesians 4:30. See 2 Corinthians 1:22 for the very use of the metaphor here applied to the Holy Spirit even with the word arrabwn (earnest).

Spirit (pneumati). In the instrumental case.
