it is written that the use of prepositions has important significance for the correct understanding of important and topical questions, particularly the question of power, I am writing comments regarding the use of precisely these prepositions. As advice regarding reading what is written — one can read the verse in translation or/and original (whoever has such possibility), and then the corresponding comment regarding prepositions here. Then it is necessary to understand which part of the verse the comment concerns, and also to consider what essential for understanding it affirms — or more rarely — denies. Such thoughtful reading helps to deepen understanding and protects from the mentioned mistakes.
I prepared an improved version of my research, the presentation of which is available at the link:

The research material is currently being prepared for publication. I hope, God willing, to present fuller results later after the publication comes out.
I will update the list of references regarding prepositions at the links:

the latter — once or twice a month (in Ukrainian), to keep the text version current and up to date.
Liturgy:
Colossians IV, 2 — ἐν αὐτῇ ἐν εὐχαριστίᾳ
— en aute en eukharistia
— in it with thanksgiving; in it in thanksgiving; with it with thanksgiving; with it in thanksgiving
. All these translation options are possible; together they emphasise the union of prayer and thanksgiving in watchfulness.
