I read with interest the communication from  Timothy E. Mills:

Perhaps hESPHRAGISEN = hESFRAGISEN is the aor ind act 3rd 
sg of SFRAGIZW (I seal) rather than the 'verb imperf. act. acc. 3rd 
pers. sing'.  

The 'Revised NT - New American Bible' gives "For on him the 
Father, God, has set his seal" as the translation.

A simple translation is "For the Father, God, sealed this person". 
Thus I do not think "this one the Father sealed as God is a good 
translation.

I hope this contribution is helpful.

Regards,

Noel.
