SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:1–16: Believers are united in Christ

In the previous sections, Paul taught the important truths of the Christian faith. In this section, Paul showed how those truths should affect the way we live. He urged the Ephesian Christians to behave in the way that would keep their unity. He explained in detail the basis of this unity. He also explained that Christ gives believers power to do different tasks so that the church may become strong and mature. Mature believers should no longer be influenced by false teaching. Instead, they will proclaim the truth, and the church, with Christ as its head, will grow as it should and become strong.

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

Unity of the body of Christ

Christ’s gifts to the church

Live in unity, using God’s gifting to strengthen believers

Paul urges the Ephesians to live a life of unity in Christ

Believers in Christ should live in unity, strengthening each other

4:2–4

In 4:1 Paul urged the Ephesians to behave in a way that pleased God. In 4:2–4 he listed some specific types of behavior that please God.

4:2a

with all humility and gentleness,

with all: The Greek phrase that the BSB literally translates as with all means “in every situation” or “at all times.” It is connected to both “humble” and “gentle.”

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

in everything/all you do

Always (CEV)

humility: The word humility means to be unassuming, without arrogance. It could also be translated as “without pride.” Some languages have idioms for this. For example:

have a low heart/head

bring yourself down

gentleness: The word gentleness means “without harshness, not easily irritated, with courtesy.” Acting with gentleness is the opposite of taking revenge, getting even or demanding your own rights.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

considerate

not demanding

not harsh

4:2b

with patience, bearing with one another in love,

with patience: The word patience means “being slow to get angry or complain” or “being long-suffering.” There may be an idiom in your language to express this, for example:

having a long heart

bearing with one another in love: The phrase bearing with one another means “be tolerant or patient with one another.”

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

accepting each other (NCV)

be tolerant of others

endure the wrongs of others

Some languages have idioms for this.

in love: The phrase in love refers to being tolerant of others “because of love,” or “because you love them.” For example:

…because of your love (NLT)

See love, meaning 2 in the Glossary for more information.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

μετὰ πάσης ταπεινοφροσύνης καὶ πραΰτητος

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: μετά πάσης ταπεινοφροσύνης καί πραΰτητος μετά μακροθυμίας ἀνεχόμενοι ἀλλήλων ἐν ἀγάπῃ)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the words humility, gentleness, and patience, you could express the same ideas with verbal forms. Alternate translation: [to learn to be humble, gentle, and patient]
