‏ Ephesians 1:6

 To the praise ( εις επαινον ). Note the prepositions in this sentence.

 Which ( ης ). Genitive case of the relative  ην (cognate accusative with  εχαριτωσεν (he freely bestowed), late verb  χαριτοω (from  χαρις, grace), in N.T. attracted to case of antecedent  χαριτος only here and Lu 1:28.

 In the Beloved ( εν τω ηγαπημενω ). Perfect passive participle of  αγαπαω. This phrase nowhere else in the N.T. though in the Apostolic Fathers.
