Bible Question: my question is in reference to Ephesians 1:3-14 is, does everyone have the understanding that in the Greek that this is a complete sentence? |
Bible Answer: Trumpet, Good question. I found an answer in the NIV study bible coomentary. Verses 3-14 are "All on sentence in Greek, this section is often called a "doxology" because it recites what God has done and is an expression of worship to honor Him. Pauls speaks first of the blessings we have through the Father (v. 3), then of those that come through the Son (vv.4-13a) and finally of those through the Holy Spirit (1:13b-14)" I didn't know that.
