So as much as in me is I am ready (
outw to kat eme proqumon). Literally, "Thus the according to me affair is ready" (
proqumo, old adjective,
pro, qumo). It is an awkward idiom like to
ex umwn in Colossians 12:18 . The plural
ta kat eme we find in
Philippians 1:12 ;
Colossians 4:7 ;
Ephesians 6:21 .
