OET (OET-RV) one God and father of all who is over all and through all and in all.

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

4:6a

one God and Father of all,

one God and Father of all: The words God and Father refer to the same Person. You can say:

There is only one God, and he is the Father of all of us.

We all worship the same God who is the Father of us all.

all: There are at least three ways to understand the word all.

  1. It means all believers.

  2. It means all people whether believers or not. For example:

    there is one God and Father of all people (GNT)

  3. It means all things or all creation. For example:

    There is one God and Father of everything. (NCV)

Many versions say only all, and it is not possible to tell which interpretation they follow. If you want to make the all explicit, it is recommended that you follow interpretation (1), which many commentaries support. It is true that God is the God of all people, and he is over all people. However, because Paul is speaking of the unity of the church in these verses, he probably means all Christians, whether Jew or Gentile. So you could translate all as:

all of us

all his people

4:6b

who is over all and through all and in all.

who is over all: The phrase who is over all means that God rules over all his people. He owns us all. For example:

of all people (GNT)

through all: The phrase through all means that God does his work through all his people.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

works through all (GNT)

he works by using all of us (CEV)

in all: The phrase in all means that God lives/dwells in all his people by his Spirit. For example:

and he lives in all of us (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Πατὴρ πάντων & ἐπὶ πάντων & διὰ πάντων & ἐν πᾶσιν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἱς Θεός καί Πατήρ πάντων ὁ ἐπί πάντων καί διά πάντων καί ἐν πᾶσιν)

Alternate translation: [Father of every person … over every thing … through all things … in all things]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

4:1-6 God’s saving grace for both Jews and Gentiles should be reflected in how the two groups relate to each other in the church: They are to accept each other warmly, just as God has accepted them.
