a
Or "by his blood," "by his life." when en is used morally it has the force of "in the power of," "in the intrinsic character of"; thus "in flesh," "in spirit." The article and pronoun here give it a somewhat more instrumental character. "Through" in ver. 10 is dia.

Much more then, having been now justified bya his blood, we shall be saved by him from wrath.

WK Translation Notes

a
The Greek preposition "en" here and in the next verse I have translated "by." It is a far more intimate relation ("in virtue of" or "in the power of") than is expressed by "dia," which, with the genitive as in each of these verses, signifies a means or instrument "through," as sometimes also in a certain condition "with"(a sense which it occasionally bears in the accusative also. Compare {vi 29145}{/vi} with {vi 27990}{/vi}.
