(Occurrence 0) τὸν λόγον τῆς ἀληθείας
the word ¬the ˱of˲_truth
This could mean: (1) the message about the truth. (2) the true message.

˱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]
