To the saints which are at Ephesus - As some learned men think that this epistle was written to the Church of the Laodiceans, and that the words εν Εφεσῳ, in Ephesus, were not originally in this epistle, the consideration of the subject has appeared to be more proper for the preface; and to that the reader is referred for a particular discussion of this opinion. By the term saints we are to understand those who in that place professed Christianity, and were members of the Christian Church. Saint properly signifies a holy person, and such the Gospel of Christ requires every man to be, and such every true believer is, both in heart and life; but saint appears to have been as ordinary a denomination of a believer in Christ in those primitive times, as the term Christian is now. Yet many had the name who had not the thing. The faithful in Christ Jesus - Πιστοις· the believers - the persons who received Christ as the promised Messiah, and the Savior of the world, and continued in the grace which they had received.
Відкрити джерело ↗INSCRIPTION: ORIGIN OF THE CHURCH IN THE FATHER'S ETERNAL COUNSEL, AND THE SON'S BLOODSHEDDING: THE SEALING OF IT BY THE SPIRIT. THANKSGIVING AND PRAYER THAT THEY MAY FULLY KNOW GOD'S GRACIOUS POWER IN CHRIST TOWARDS THE SAINTS. (Eph. 1:1-23) by--rather, "through the will of God": called to the apostleship through that same "will" which originated the Church (Eph 1:5, Eph 1:9, Eph 1:11; compare Gal 1:4). which are at Ephesus--(See Introduction.) to the saints . . . and to the faithful--The same persons are referred to by both designations, as the Greek proves: "to those who are saints, and faithful in Christ Jesus." The sanctification by God is here put before man's faith. The twofold aspect of salvation is thus presented, God's grace in the first instance sanctifying us, (that is, setting us apart in His eternal purposes as holy unto Himself); and our faith, by God's gift, laying hold of salvation (Th2 2:13; Pe1 1:2).
Відкрити джерело ↗Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,.... See Gill on Rom 1:1. See Gill on Co1 1:1. See Gill on Co2 1:1. See Gill on Gal 1:1. To the saints which are at Ephesus; of this place, see the note above upon the title of the epistle, and See Gill on Act 18:19. The persons residing there, to whom the epistle is written, are described by their character, as "saints"; being separated by the grace of God the Father in eternal election; whose sins were expiated by the blood and sacrifice of Christ; and to whom he himself was made sanctification; and who were internally sanctified by the Spirit of God, and lived holy lives and conversations. The Alexandrian copy, and some others, and the Vulgate Latin version, read, "to all the saints"; whether officers of the church, or private members, whether rich or poor, bond or free, strong or weak believers, of greater or lesser abilities. And to the faithful in Christ Jesus: who were in Christ, not only by electing grace, but were openly and manifestly in him, through converting grace; and abode in him as branches in the vine; continued constant, and persevered in faith and holiness; and were faithful to the cause and interest of Christ, and to his Gospel and ordinances; and were hearty and sincere in the profession of their faith in Christ, and love to him and his: or, as the Arabic version renders it, "and to them that believe in Jesus Christ"; with all their hearts, to the saving of their souls; who look unto him, venture on him, rely upon him, and trust in him for life and salvation, and who shall certainly be saved; of such the church at Ephesus consisted, to whom this epistle was written: of the church there; see Gill on Act 20:17.

Відкрити джерело ↗Here is, 1. The title St. Paul takes to himself, as belonging to him - Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, etc. He reckoned it a great honour to be employed by Christ, as one of his messengers to the sons of men. The apostles were prime officers in the Christian church, being extraordinary ministers appointed for a time only. They were furnished by their great Lord with extraordinary gifts and the immediate assistance of the Spirit, that they might be fitted for publishing and spreading the gospel and for governing the church in its infant state. Such a one Paul was, and that not by the will of man conferring that office upon him, nor by his own intrusion into it; but by the will of God, very expressly and plainly intimated to him, he being immediately called (as the other apostles were) by Christ himself to the work. Every faithful minister of Christ (though his call and office are not of so extraordinary a nature) may, with our apostle, reflect on it as an honour and comfort to himself that he is what he is by the will of God. 2. The persons to whom this epistle is sent: To the saints who are at Ephesus, that is, to the Christians who were members of the church at Ephesus, the metropolis of Asia. He calls them saints, for such they were in profession, such they were bound to be in truth and reality, and many of them were such. All Christians must be saints; and, if they come not under that character on earth, they will never be saints in glory. He calls them the faithful in Christ Jesus, believers in him, and firm and constant in their adherence to him and to his truths and ways. Those are not saints who are not faithful, believing in Christ, firmly adhering to him, and true to the profession they make of relation to their Lord. Note, It is the honour not only of minist…
Відкрити джерело ↗1:1-2 Paul follows the normal pattern of ancient Greek letters: He begins with a few words about himself followed by greetings. He expands this pattern in a Christian way by referring to his divine calling as an apostle, by describing his recipients as God’s holy people and as faithful followers of Christ, and by his invocation of grace and peace. 1:1 The frequent emphasis on the will of God (see 1:5, 9, 11; 5:17; 6:6) underscores God’s sovereignty in fulfilling his plan. • God’s holy people: Literally the holy ones, who are dedicated to God (see also 1:15, 18; 2:19; 3:8, 18; 4:12; 5:3; 6:18). • The most ancient manuscripts do not include in Ephesus, and there are no personal greetings in this letter. Many scholars believe that the letter was originally sent to be circulated to a number of churches in the area rather than to the church in Ephesus alone.

до святих і вірних братів у Христі, що в Коло́сах: благода́ть вам і мир від Бога, Отця нашого!
Павло, з волі Божої апо́стол Христа Ісуса, та брат Тимофій, до Божої Церкви в Коринті, з усіма́ святими в ці́лій Аха́ї, —
Павло, раб Ісуса Христа, покликаний апо́стол, вибраний для звіща́ння Єва́нгелії Божої,
Апо́стол Павло́, поставлений ні від людей, ані від чоловіка, але́ від Ісуса Христа й Бога Отця, що з мертвих Його воскресив,
усім, хто знаходиться в Римі, улю́бленим Божим, покликаним святим, — благода́ть вам та мир від Бога, Отця нашого, і Господа Ісуса Христа!
Не бійся того, що маєш страждати! Ось диявол вкидатиме декого з вас до в'язниць, щоб вас ви́пробувати. І будете мати біду́ десять день. Будь вірний до смерти, і Я тобі дам вінця́ життя!
Для цього послав я до вас Тимофі́я, що для мене улю́блений і вірний син у Господі, — він вам нагадає шляхи мої в Христі Ісусі, як навчаю я скрізь у кожній Церкві.
А щоб знали і ви щось про мене, та що́ я роблю́, то все вам розпові́сть Тихи́к, улю́блений брат і в Господі вірний служи́тель,
Хто вірний в найменшому, — і в великому вірний; і хто несправедливий в найменшому, — і в великому несправедливий.
Тож немає тепер жодного о́суду тим, хто ходить у Христі Ісусі не за тілом, а за Духом,
