Ephesians 1:13

1:13 And when ¹  you heard the word of truth (the gospel of your salvation) – when you believed in Christ ²  – you were marked with the seal ³  of the promised Holy Spirit, ⁴ 

Ephesians 6:9

6:9 Masters, ⁵  treat your slaves ⁶  the same way, ⁷  giving up the use of threats, ⁸  because you know that both you and they have the same master in heaven, ⁹  and there is no favoritism with him.

[1:13]  ¹ tn Grk “in whom you also, when…” (continuing the sentence from v. 12).

[1:13]  ² tn Grk “in whom also having believed.” The relative pronoun “whom” has been replaced in the translation with its antecedent (“Christ”) to improve the clarity.

[1:13]  ³ tn Or “you were sealed.”

[1:13]  ⁴ tn Grk “the Holy Spirit of promise.” Here ἐπαγγελίας (epangelias, “of promise”) has been translated as an attributive genitive.

[6:9]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[6:9]  ⁶ tn Though the Greek text only has αὐτούς (autous, “them”), the antecedent is the slaves of the masters. Therefore, it was translated this way to make it explicit in English.

[6:9]  ⁷ tn Grk “do the same things to them.”

[6:9]  ⁸ tn Grk “giving up the threat.”

[6:9]  ⁹ tn Grk “because of both they and you, the Lord is, in heaven…”
