Mar 8, 2021 at 13:12 comment added Nigel J 'When it pleased God to reveal his Son by reason of me that I might preach him', doesn't make sense. 'Reveal his Son by my preaching in order that I might preach him' is not logical. What is logical is 'reveal his Son within me that I might declare that inwardly revealed Person to others'. No, I cannot accept your thinking on this - that Paul has no inward revelation and yet preaches to others in order that he might preach to others.
Mar 8, 2021 at 10:42 comment added Dottard @NigelJ - see my explanation above - "in me" means that the Son is revealed because of, or by reason of Paul - that is, God gave him a personal revelation so that through Paul others might be won to the Gospel and serving Jesus.
Mar 8, 2021 at 4:27 comment added Nigel J Are you saying that revealed 'in me' means 'on account of me' (en emoi) ? I am not sure I have grasped this. (Up-voted +1, but this is not yet clear to me).
