SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:1–2: Paul greeted the believers at Ephesus

Paul began his letter in the way that people usually began letters at that time. He gave his name first: “Paul.” Then he identified the people receiving the letter: “the saints in Ephesus.” Next, he gave a Christian greeting in 1:2.

Here are some other examples for a heading for this section:

Greetings from Paul (NLT)

Greetings to the church at Ephesus

1:2

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grace and peace to you: The clause Grace and peace to you was a common greeting among Christians at that time. Here Paul used these words as a prayer to wish God’s blessing on the Ephesians.

In the Greek, Grace and peace to you contains no verbs. In many languages, it may be more natural to add one or two verbs. For example:

May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. (GNT)

May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ show you grace and give you peace in your hearts.

In other languages, it may be better to translate Grace and peace as verbs, for example:

I pray that God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ will graciously help/bless you and help you to live well.

Grace: Grace here means that “God favors people” or that “he is kind to people even though they do not deserve it.” Paul used the word Grace to express his desire for God’s blessing on people and to wish them well. See grace, Meaning 1, in the Glossary for more information.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

God’s favor

God’s gracious help

God’s generous help

peace: The Greek word that the BSB translates as peace refers to serenity and calm well-being. It often implies an absence of war or conflict. In the context of this Christian greeting, it probably implies the peace that comes from God for those who are in a relationship with him. Remember that the word peace has more than one meaning in the NT. You may need to translate it in different ways in different verses, according to the context.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

tranquility

untroubled relationships

calm life

God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Since the pronoun our occurs with Father, consider whether it is more natural in your language to also say “our Lord” rather than “the Lord.” For example:

God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. (NLT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-blessing

χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη

grace ˱to˲_you_all (Some words not found in SR-GNT: χάρις ὑμῖν καί εἰρήνη ἀπό Θεοῦ Πατρός ἡμῶν καί Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ)

This is a common greeting and blessing that Paul often uses in the beginning of his letters. Use a form in your language that makes it clear that this is a greeting and blessing.
