intro
The
Letter of St. Paul to the Ephesians follows his Letter to the Galatians and precedes his Letter
to the Philippians in
the New Testament of the Bible.
The Epistle of St. Paul to the Ephesians is one of the 4 Captivity Epistles, along with
Philippians, Colossians,
and Philemon.
Geography
Ephesus was constructed on a river bend that was eventually
dredged into a full harbor near the mount of the Cayster River, on the western
coast of Asia Minor (modern Turkey). Along the coastal plain between Smyrna to
the north and Miletus to the south, the site is now about six miles from the Aegean Sea

in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind;
and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

wherewith he loved us,

fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

unto an holy temple in the Lord:

being rooted and grounded in love,
Eph 3:18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and
depth, and height;
Eph 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge,
that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in
us,
do refer to your BIBLE'S always.
