Prepsorio ekoout
The preposition “ek” conveys a change of condition or place in Koine Greek.
Secondly, this verse is rendered in the middle voice which throws the emphasis on the subject who is Jesus. This implies that the change is the “born again” spiritual birth that is alluded.
Thirdly, the word “chose” implies that God made the effort to save us in contrast to us morally improving ourselves to gain “favor” with God. Favor and chosen are closely related.
So to amplify this verse- it means “I (Jesus) elected to make myself into a human form for your sakes so that you might be spiritually changed (born again) and be set right with the Heavenly Father with your sins forgiven by My atonement in full.”
This “ek” imputes individual sanctification that sets Christian disciples “apart” by faith from the world filled with unredeemed men who have not trusted Jesus by faith (from Quora)
