OET (OET-RV) This letter is from Paul, a missionary of Yeshua the messiah by the will of God.[ref]
¶ To the godly people there in Ephesus who are faithful to Yeshua the messiah.
1:1: Acts 18:19-21; 19:1.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / you
Paul names himself as the writer of this letter to the believers in the church at Ephesus (and elsewhere). Except where noted, all instances of “you” and “your” refer to the Ephesian believers as well as to all believers, and so are plural.

Your language may have a particular way of introducing the author of a letter and the intended audience. Alternate translation: “I, Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ … write this letter to you, God’s holy people”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ
in in Christ Jesus
The phrase in Christ Jesus and similar expressions are metaphors that frequently occur in the New Testament letters. They express the strongest kind of relationship possible between Christ and those who believe in him, picturing believers as being surrounded by Christ. Alternate translation: “in close relationship to Christ Jesus”
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.
