The 10th book of the
New Testament
This is a letter written by the
Apostle Paul to the church in
Ephesus between 62ad and 63ad. It reads more like a lecture than a letter, but is widely seen as Paul's greatest work. Among Paul's many works, this has got to be one of my
personal favorites...

This epistle was written when St.
Paul was a prisoner at
Rome. The design appears to be to strengthen the
Ephesians in
the
Faith of
Christ, and to give exalted views of the
Love of
God, and of the dignity and excellence of
Christ, fortifying
their minds against the scandal of the
Cross. He shows that they
were saved
By Grace, and that however wretched they once were,
they now had equal privileges with the Jews. He encourages them
to persevere in their
Christian Calling, and urges them to walk
in a manner becoming their profession, faithfully discharging
the general and common duties of religion, and the special
duties of particular relations.
