Ephesians 1:1
The Foreordination of the Church
SUMMARY OF EPHESIANS 1: The Salutation. Our Election and Adoption by
Grace. This the Source of Salvation. The Mystery Made Known. The
Inheritance. Prayer That Wisdom and Knowledge Be Given to the
Saints.
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ. It was always the custom anciently
to place the name of the writer at the beginning rather than at the end
as with us.
By the will of God. Emphasis is placed in most of Paul's epistles
upon the fact that he was not an apostle by the appointment of man, but
by the will of God.
To the saints which are at Ephesus. All Christians were called
saints in the early church. See the salutations of other Epistles.
And to the faithful in Christ Jesus. The same as the saints. There
is no article in the Greek before "faithful". A literal translation is
"To the saints dwelling in Ephesus and faithful in Christ Jesus".
