Efesus 1:16

1:16 I do not cease to give thanks for you when I remember you ¹  in my prayers.

Efesus 1:19

1:19 and what is the incomparable ²  greatness of his power toward ³  us who believe, as displayed in ⁴  the exercise of his immense strength. ⁵ 

Efesus 2:6

Efesus 5:33

5:33 Nevertheless, ⁶  each one of you must also love his own wife as he loves himself, ⁷  and the wife must ⁸  respect ⁹  her husband.

[1:16]  ¹ tn Grk “making mention [of you].”

[1:19]  ² tn Or “immeasurable, surpassing”

[1:19]  ³ tn Or “for, to”

[1:19]  ⁴ tn Grk “according to.”

[1:19]  ⁵ tn Grk “according to the exercise of the might of his strength.”

[1:19]  sn What has been translated as exercise is a term used only of supernatural power in the NT, ἐνέργεια (energeia).

[5:33]  ⁶ tn The translation of πλήν (plhn) is somewhat difficult in this context, though the overall thrust of the argument is clear. It could be an adversative idea such as “but,” “nevertheless,” or “however” (see NIV, NASB, NRSV), or it could simply be intended to round out and bring to conclusion the author’s discussion. In this latter case it could be translated with the use of “now” (so A. T. Lincoln, Ephesians [WBC], 384).

[5:33]  ⁷ tn Grk “Nevertheless, you also, one by one, each his own wife so let him love as himself.” This statement is cumbersome and was cleaned up to reflect better English style.

[5:33]  ⁸ tn The ἵνα (Jina) clause was taken as imperatival, i.e., “let the wife respect….”

[5:33]  ⁹ tn The Greek verb φοβέομαι (fobeomai) here has been translated “respect” and the noun form of the word, i.e., φόβος (fobos), has been translated as “reverence” in 5:21.
