TSNTyndale Study Notes:

4:1–6:20 Therefore: Ephesians divides into two sections, the first devoted to explaining the Good News, the second to drawing out the implications for Christian living. This arrangement reflects Paul’s belief that believers’ lives should be a response of gratitude for God’s grace.

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.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Connecting Statement:

Connecting Statement:

Because of what Paul has been writing to the Ephesians, he tells them how they should live their lives as believers and again emphasizes that believers are to agree with each other.

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

οὖν

therefore

The connecting word Therefore introduces a reason-result relationship. The reason is that God will be glorified in the church for all generations. The result is that believers should walk in a way that is worthy of the Lord. Use a phrase in your language that connects a reason to a result.

ὁ δέσμιος ἐν Κυρίῳ

the prisoner in /the/_Lord

Alternate translation: “someone who is in prison because he serves the Lord”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀξίως περιπατῆσαι τῆς κλήσεως

worthily /to/_walk ˱of˲_the calling

The phrase to walk is a common way to express the idea of living one’s life.

τῆς κλήσεως ἧς ἐκλήθητε

˱of˲_the calling ˱to˲_which ˱you_all˲_/were/_called

Here, the calling refers to the fact that God chose them to be his people. Alternate translation: “because God chose you to be his people”
