“Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.”
who gave himself as a ransom for all — this is the testimony given at the proper time — the antilytron (ransom) language echoes Isaiah's servant imagery: Christ's self-surrender (didōmi heauton) constitutes redemption's price, paid for all humanity. The redemptive act occurs at divinely appointed kairos (proper time).
