TSNTyndale Study Notes:

1:13 he identified you as his own (or he put his seal on you): Just as a seal signifies authentic ownership, the Holy Spirit in a believer’s life signifies God’s ownership (4:30; 2 Cor 1:22).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

General Information:

Paul has been speaking in the previous two verses about himself and the other Jewish believers, but now he begins speaking about the Ephesian believers.

(Occurrence 0) τὸν λόγον τῆς ἀληθείας

the word ¬the ˱of˲_truth

This could mean: (1) the message about the truth. (2) the true message.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐσφραγίσθητε τῷ Πνεύματι τῆς ἐπαγγελίας, τῷ Ἁγίῳ

˱you_all˲_/were/_sealed ˱with˲_the Spirit ¬the ˱of˲_promise ¬the Holy

In this metaphor Paul pictures the Holy Spirit as a seal, comparing him to the wax that was placed on a letter and stamped with a symbol representing the person who wrote the letter. Paul uses this custom as a picture to show how God has used the Holy Spirit to assure us that we belong to him. Alternate translation: “God has placed the Holy Spirit that he promised on you as if he were a seal”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐσφραγίσθητε

˱you_all˲_/were/_sealed

If your language does not use this passive form, you can state this in active form. Alternate translation: “God has sealed you”
