‏ 1 Peter 5:10

 The God of all grace ( ο θεος της χαριτος ). See 4:10 for  ποικιλης χαριτος θεου (of the variegated grace of God).

 In Christ ( εν Χριστω ). A Pauline phrase (2Co 5:17-19), but Petrine also. For God's "calling" us ( καλεσας ) see 1Th 5:23f.; 1Co 1:8f.; Ro 8:29f.

 After that ye have suffered a little while ( ολιγον παθοντας ). Second aorist active participle of  πασχω, antecedent to the principal verbs which are future active ( καταρτισε, to mend, Mr 1:19; Ga 6:1,  στηριξε, for which see Lu 9:51; 22:32,  σθενωσε from  σθενος and so far a  απαξ λεγομενον like  ενισχυω according to Hesychius). For  ολιγον see 1:6.
