Translation of Ephesians
This is the complete translation of the Apostle Pauls Letter to the Ephesians for the series Lift Your Eyes: Reflections on Ephesians.
Reading Ephesians (Ephesians 6:21–24)
Pauls closing greeting in Ephesians is a good opportunity to summarise what the letter is all about and to remember why its worth reading and reflecting on it.
Prayer: the heart of evangelism (Ephesians 6:17–20)
One of the best things we can pray for is that the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ will go out to the world, both through us and through others.
The importance of being a struggling Christian (Ephesians 6:14–16)
Do you ever feel like the Christian life is a struggle? Struggling is normal for Christians. In fact, its not just normal. Christians should be struggling!
Stand your ground (Ephesians 6:10–13)
It’s easy to ignore the spiritual realities of life. But Paul reminds us we should live our ordinary, everyday lives in light of spiritual realities.
The gospel for the boss (Ephesians 6:9)
Authority implies responsibility. Christians, who have a heavenly Lord and Saviour, have a special reason to be responsible in the way we use our authority.
The gospel: beyond freedom (Ephesians 6:5–8)
What do you do if you find yourself in a situation of limited economic freedom? Paul shows how that situation can be transformed by the gospel.
The gospel and fatherhood (Ephesians 6:4)
Fathers: Do you sometimes wish your children were born with an instruction manual? Being a dad is a big responsibility. Paul here provides valuable direction.
Paul the Apostle does children’s ministry (Ephesians 6:1–3)
Childrens ministry is important. Pauls short instruction to children is deeply soaked in theology, biblical theology, and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
