OET (OET-LV) having_made_known to_us the mystery of_the will of_him, according_to the good_pleasure of_him, which he_purposed in him,
OET (OET-RV) as he revealed the mystery of his will to us according to his great pleasure as he himself planned.
κατὰ τὴν εὐδοκίαν αὐτοῦ
according_to the good_pleasure ˱of˲_him
This could mean: (1) because he wanted to make it known to us. (2) which was what he wanted.
ἣν προέθετο ἐν αὐτῷ
which ˱he˲_purposed in him
Alternate translation: “as he demonstrated this purpose in Christ”
ἐν αὐτῷ
in him
Alternate translation: “by means of Christ”
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.
OET (OET-LV) having_made_known to_us the mystery of_the will of_him, according_to the good_pleasure of_him, which he_purposed in him,
OET (OET-RV) as he revealed the mystery of his will to us according to his great pleasure as he himself planned.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
