OET (OET-LV) Blessed be the god and father of_the master of_us, Yaʸsous chosen_one/messiah, the one having_blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in chosen_one/messiah,

OET (OET-RV) We praise God, the father of our master Yeshua the messiah.[fn] He is the one who’s blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places—blessings that come from the messiah.

1:3 Verses 3-14 seem to be just one long, rambling sentence in the Greek, and it’s not totally clear what each part means, or how they all connect logically together in sequence. We have split it into smaller sentence chunks to try to help our readers extract some meaning out of it.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

In this book, unless otherwise stated, the words “us” and “we” refer to Paul, the believers in Ephesus, and all believers.

Note 2 topic: writing-background

This verse provides background information about the Ephesians to help readers understand their spiritual condition. Paul opens his letter by talking about the believers’ position and their safety before God.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

εὐλογητὸς ὁ Θεὸς καὶ Πατὴρ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν, Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ

blessed_‹be› the God and Father ˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_us Jesus Christ

If your language does not use this passive form, you can state this in active form. Alternate translation: [Let us praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ]

ὁ εὐλογήσας ἡμᾶς

the the_‹one› ˓having˒_blessed us

Alternate translation: [for God has blessed us]

πάσῃ εὐλογίᾳ πνευματικῇ

every blessing spiritual

Alternate translation: [every blessing coming from the Spirit of God]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις

with in the heavenly_‹realms›

Paul assumes that his readers will understand that the word heavenly refers to the place where God is. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [in the supernatural world]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν Χριστῷ

with in in Christ

Here, in Christ could mean: (1) a metaphor referring to our close relationship with Christ. Alternate translation: [by uniting us with Christ] or [because we are united with Christ] (2) what Christ has done. Alternate translation: [through Christ] or [through what Christ has done]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

1:3–3:21 Ephesians is divided into two sections: Chs 1–3 praise God for his amazing grace, and chs 4–6 instruct believers on how to live in grateful response.

1:3-14 Paul praises God for all the spiritual blessings he has graciously provided through Jesus Christ, for Gentiles as well as for Jews.
• This section is a single, complex sentence in Greek—one of the longest in Paul’s letters, with long sentences being typical of Paul’s writing (also in 1:15-23; 2:1-7, 14-16; 3:1-12, 14-19; Col 1:3-29; 2:1-3, 8-15). The interwoven nature of these sentences reflects the interconnectedness of their ideas.

1:3 Verses 3-14 seem to be just one long, rambling sentence in the Greek, and it’s not totally clear what each part means, or how they all connect logically together in sequence. We have split it into smaller sentence chunks to try to help our readers extract some meaning out of it.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The SR Greek text, lemmas, morphology, and VLT gloss are all thanks to the SR-GNT.
