Ephesians 3:6

3:6 namely, that through the gospel ¹  the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members ²  of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 6:2

6:2 “Honor your father and mother,” ³  which is the first commandment accompanied by a promise, namely,

Ephesians 1:13

1:13 And when ⁴  you heard the word of truth (the gospel of your salvation) – when you believed in Christ ⁵  – you were marked with the seal ⁶  of the promised Holy Spirit, ⁷ 

Ephesians 2:12

2:12 that you were at that time without the Messiah, ⁸  alienated from the citizenship of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, ⁹  having no hope and without God in the world.

[3:6]  ¹ sn The phrase through the gospel is placed last in the sentence in Greek for emphasis. It has been moved forward for clarity.

[3:6]  ² tn Grk “and fellow members.”

[6:2]  ³ sn A quotation from Exod 20:12 and Deut 5:16.

[1:13]  ⁵ tn Grk “in whom you also, when…” (continuing the sentence from v. 12).

[1:13]  ⁶ 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]  ⁷ tn Or “you were sealed.”

[1:13]  ⁸ tn Grk “the Holy Spirit of promise.” Here ἐπαγγελίας (epangelias, “of promise”) has been translated as an attributive genitive.

[2:12]  ⁷ tn Or “without Christ.” Both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.” Because the context refers to ancient Israel’s messianic expectation, “Messiah” was employed in the translation at this point rather than “Christ.”

[2:12]  ⁸ tn Or “covenants of the promise.”
