TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:1-10 Paul reflects on the terrible situation of the believers before they believed in Christ and the grace of God that has spared them.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

but

The connecting word But introduces a contrast relationship. The love and mercy of God is in sharp contrast to the evil way the Ephesians lived before they believed in God.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

Θεὸς πλούσιος ὢν ἐν ἐλέει

God rich being in mercy

The word mercy is an abstract noun. Alternate translation: “God is abundantly merciful” or “God is very kind to us”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

διὰ τὴν πολλὴν ἀγάπην αὐτοῦ, ἣν ἠγάπησεν ἡμᾶς

because_of the great love ˱of˲_him which ˱he˲_loved us

The word love is an abstract noun. Alternate translation: “because he loved us so very much”
