Geneva Study Bible - Ephesians 1:15

1:15 {17} Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,(17) He returns to the former account of the good received from God, concluding two things together about those things that went before: the first is that all good things come to us from God the Father in Christ, and by Christ, so that for them he may be praised by us. The second is, that all those things (which he brings to two heads, that is, faith and charity) are increased in us by... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Ephesians 1:17

1:17 {18} That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of {u} glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the {x} knowledge of him:(18) The causes of faith are God the Father enlightening our minds with his Holy Spirit, so that we may embrace Christ revealed to us in the Gospel, to the obtaining of everlasting life, and the setting forth of God’s glory.(u) Full of majesty.(x) For it is not enough for us to have known God once, but we must know him every day more and... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Ephesians 1:19

1:19 {19} And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,(19) The excellency of faith is declared by the effects, because the mighty power of God is set forth and shown in them. read more

Geneva Study Bible - Ephesians 1:20

1:20 {20} Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set [him] at his own {z} right hand in the heavenly [places],(20) The apostle wishes us to behold in our most glorious Christ (with the eyes of faith) that most excellent power and glory of God, of which all the faithful are partakers, even though it is as yet very dim in us, by reason of the shame of the cross, and the weakness of the flesh.(z) To be set on God’s right hand is to be a partaker of the sovereignty which... read more

1:21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every {a} name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:(a) Everything, whatever it may be, or above all things, even if they are of ever so much power or excellency. read more

Geneva Study Bible - Ephesians 1:22

1:22 {21} And hath put all [things] under his feet, and gave him [to be] the {b} head over all [things] to the church,(21) So that we should not think that the excellent glory of Christ is a thing with which we have nothing to do, he witnesses that Christ was appointed by God the Father as head over all the Church, and therefore the body must be joined to this head, which otherwise would be a maimed thing, without the members. However, this is not because of necessity (seeing that it is rather... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Ephesians 1:23

1:23 Which is his body, the {c} fulness of him that filleth all in all.(c) For the love of Christ is so great towards the Church, that even though he fully satisfies all with all things, yet he considers himself but a maimed and unperfect head, unless he has the Church joined to him as his body. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Ephesians 1:1-23

SALUTATION (vs.1-2) As an apostle of Jesus Christ, Paul writes this epistle as an authoritative communication from God. Indeed, his apostleship is "by the will of God." Nothing of his own or of any other person's activity is involved in this at all. God gave Paul this place: he must simply accept it and act for God in it. No other could possibly substitute for him here. The epistle is not addressed to the Ephesian assembly as such, but to the saints at Ephesus, for assembly order is not the... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ephesians 1:1-23

THE BELIEVER ’S BLESSINGS IN CHURCH This is the first of what are called the “prison” epistles, because written by Paul while a prisoner at Rome, (Compare Ephesians 3:1 ; Ephesians 4:1 ; with Acts 28:0 ). The others are Colossians, Philippians, and Philemon. The apostle wrote these with the chain upon his wrist. This also (with Colossians) contains the profoundest truth God has been pleased to reveal to His people, even that of the church considered as the body of Christ, “the... read more
