Subject: How does this order of authority work? |
Bible Note: Hi Tim, I like your artistic translation. 1) I agree with your point and your translation of "having". I see the working of God in grace looking back in the passage to verse nine. I go with the NKJ for verses 9-11 looking at His grace which He lavished upon us. In all wisdom and insight... Ephesians 1:9, NKJ, "having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth--in Him. In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,..." All of this is according to the purpose of the One who works all things. 2) What would you say to the idea that this One gave Himself to be Head of all things to the church? Ephesians 1:22 From the heart, Ray |
