Outside the Pauline Epistles there is no instance of
ejn Cristw'/ jIhsou'
. But
ejn Cristw'/
is found in
Pet. 3:16. :10 [with vs. 1.
ejn tw'/ cristw'/
].

It is also the reading of A in Apoc. 1:9.
The phrase
ejn tw'/ cristw'/
is found only in

. (2:5. W. & H. mg. and so also 1 Pet. 5:10.) [In Gal. 3:14
ejn jIhsou' Cristw'/
is read (W. H. text).] In Eph. 4:21 occurs the unique phrase
ejn tw'/ jIhsou'
(v. Add. Note, p. 70); and in Apoc. 1:9 the reading of C [adopted by W. & H.] is
ejn th'/ qlivyei k. basileiva/ k. uJpomonh'/ ejn jIhsou'
.
None of the phrases ejn Cristw'/, ejn Cristw'/ jIhsou' and ejn tw'/ cristw'/ occur in Hebrews or in any (save 1 Pet.) of the Catholic Epistles. Apart from 1 Pet. (ll. cc.) they are exclusively Pauline.
It will be seen that the short phrase ejn Cristw'/ does not occur in the Pastoral Epistles.
Otherwise ejn Cristw'/ and ejn Cristw'/ jIhsou' occur with about equal frequency, both in the earlier Epistles and in the Epistles of the Captivity.
On the other hand the unusual phrase ejn tw'/ cristw'/ is characteristic of the Epistle to the Ephesians, occurring in other Epistles nowhere excepting 2 Cor. 2:14.
In Ephesians c. i. and more especially in the great Hymn of Praise (Eph. 1:3-
