This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
(Eph 1:7, Eph 1:17, Eph 1:18). The end aimed at (Psa 50:23), that is, that the glory of His grace may be praised by all His creatures, men and angels.
wherein - Some of the oldest manuscripts read, “which.” Then translate, “which He graciously bestowed on us.” But English Version is supported by good manuscripts and the oldest versions.
us accepted - a kindred Greek word to “grace”: charitos, echaritosen: translate, “graciously accepted”; “made us subjects of His grace”; “embraced us in the arms of His grace” (Rom 3:24; Rom 5:15).
in the beloved - pre-eminently so called (Mat 3:17; Mat 17:5; Joh 3:35; Col 1:13). Greek, “Son of His love.” It is only “IN HIS BELOVED” that He loves us (Eph 1:3; 1Jo 4:9, 1Jo 4:10).
