“Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:”
Giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light — thanksgiving (eucharistia) to the Father for qualification (hikanoō, made sufficient). 'Share in the inheritance' (meris tēs klēronomias) is participatory: they are coheirs. 'Of the saints in light' (tōn hagiōn en tō phōti) positions the saints in eschatological illumination. The inheritance is heavenly, future, yet already possessed through Spirit-indwelling. Gratitude for already-given goods frames the cosmic exhortation to follow.
