Notes

Ephesians 1:7

In him we have redemption through the blood of his Son: Believers were once prisoners of sin. Now they are free from God's judgment and from the bondage to sin because of Christ's sacrificial death (see 1:14; 4:30; Romans 3:24; 1 Corinthians 6:20; Colossians 1:14; compare Matthew 26:28; Mark 10:45; Hebrews 9:11–12, 26; 1 Peter 1:18–19).

Ephesians 1:3–14

Paul praises God for all the spiritual blessings given through Jesus Christ to both non-Jewish people (Gentiles) and Jews. This section is a single, complex sentence in Greek. It is one of the longest sentences in Paul’s letters. Long sentences are typical of Paul’s writing (also in 1:15–23; 2:1–7, 14–16; 3:1–12, 14–19; Colossians 1:3–29; 2:1–3, 8–15). These sentences are interwoven (connected and linked together like threads that are knitted or laced together). This reflects the interconnectedness of their ideas. Interwoven sentences show that different ideas are closely connected and depend on each other.
