“Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.”
For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me — Paul's toil (kopiao, labor intensely) is energized by divine dynamis (power, energy) working within him. 'His energy' (he energeia autou) shows Christ's resurrection-power becomes Paul's capacity. The human and divine co-operate without confusion: Paul strives, but Christ energizes. This is mystical realism: divine power and human effort are unified.
