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

Cor. 2:14. tw'/ pavntote qriambeuvonti hJma'" ejn tw'/ cristw'/ .

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.
