Help with Exegetical Guide vs Interlinear

Good morning, friends and family.

I need your help understanding the Word by Word section within the Exegetical Guide. I was instructed to meditate on 2 Corinthians 13:5, which says, "...do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?" [NASB Translation]

I pulled up the Exegetical Guide for the text which shows the Word by Word translation, only it doesn't have listed the "in you" after Jesus Christ, which left me confused, and asking whether the "in you" is part of the text? I read over the other words in the Word by Word but none of them seems to imply Christ being in me.

This led me to review all the translations for the text, but all the translators (i.e. Greek Scholars) says it should read as "Christ 'in you'"

Eventually, I enabled the interlinear within the Bible reading view, and this showed the Greek words for "in you" to be present.

What I'm confused about is why these words (i.e., the "in you") are not present within the Exegetical Guide Word by Word section? Please help.

I'm sorry you are having problems. In my copy of 2 Cor 13:5 EG at the beginning of the word-by-word section some of the words are black and some are grey. The black words are by default listed in the Word by word. If I click on the grey words for "in you" then the EG expands on the word.

First, the Word by Word section is using the prioritized translation of your bibles. Second, you can click any word in the passage in the word by word section to populate the word below. Third, you can set the settings to show whatever you want in the word by word section. I tend to focus on the verbs.

David covered it already.

I had entirely overlooked the "Settings" option to the right of the Word for Word. I had pronouns and propositions unchecked which is why those words didn't show up for me. It's exciting to learn I can have only the verbs show up! Thank you so very much!!
