20:18-38 Paul’s address to the elders of the church of Ephesus is a testimony regarding his life and ministry in Ephesus, calling for similar dedication from the leaders who would carry on the ministry. The sermon highlights Paul’s integrity and pastoral care (20:18-21, 26, 31), speaks about the future (20:22-23, 25, 29-30), warns against false teachers (20:29-30), and exhorts the elders to be watchful and faithful (20:28, 31). Paul modeled sacrificial, conscientious, servant leadership.

¬the ˱to˲_God and ˱to˲_the word ˱of˲_the grace ˱of˲_him ¬which being_able
Paul is speaking of the word of God’s grace as if it were a living thing that was able to do the things he describes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to God who, through the word of his grace, is able”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τῷ λόγῳ τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ
¬the ˱to˲_the word ˱of˲_the grace ˱of˲_him
Paul is using the term word to mean the message about God’s grace that Jesus and his apostles shared by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to the message about his grace”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τῷ λόγῳ τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ
¬the ˱to˲_the word ˱of˲_the grace ˱of˲_him
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of grace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “to the message about how God has graciously saved us”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τῷ δυναμένῳ οἰκοδομῆσαι
¬the ˱to˲_the ¬which being_able /to/_build

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τὴν κληρονομίαν
the /an/_inheritance
Paul is speaking as if the blessings that God gives believers were money or property that a child inherits from a father. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God’s blessings”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τοῖς ἡγιασμένοις
the_‹ones› /having_been/_sanctified
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, it is clear from the context that it was God. Alternate translation: “the ones whom God has sanctified”
