Ephesian : Heraclitus as native of Ephesus, city in Asia Minor.
... presentation and that perfect manner in both native to the Greek and French language and mind, but rare in the English tongue. In these seventeen pages he has presented the thought of the old enigmatic Ephesian with a clearness and sufficiency which leaves us charmed, enlightened and satisfied. On one or two difficult points I am inclined to differ with the conclusions he adopts. He rejects positively ...
... Jesus worked is borne out even by the travels of St. Paul who made himself the champion of preaching to the Gentiles. As the Bible testifies, he preached to the Thessalonians, Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians and Romans - all strictly the people of the regions contained within the Roman Empire under Caesar Augustus's successors Tiberius and Nero whose reigns covered Paul's ministry ...
... the cosmic pleroma in Colossians and Ephesians) and cliches (1 Corinthians 8:6; Romans 11:36; Ephesians 4:6). From the Cynics and Stoics he borrowed the rapid question and answer method (the diatribe), Romans 3:1-9, 27-31, and the rhetorical device of heaping word on word, 2 Corinthians 6:4-10. Even his use of long, packed phrases in wave after wave, Ephesians 1:3-14; Colossians 1:9-12, has a precedent... passage: "Through union with Christ in baptism, 2:12, his followers already live the identical life he lives in heaven, cf. Ephesians 2:6+, but this spiritual life is not manifest and glorious as it will be at the parousia. ''63 The relevant passage in Ephesians goes in full: "But God Page 257 loved us with so much love that he was generous with his mercy: when... Evidently, Paul's metaphysical vision of the individual's destiny is not so single-strained as 1 Corinthians 15 might incline us to think. What adds to the complexity are statements in Colossians and Ephesians which appear to modify in a mysterious way the sheer futurity of the general resurrection. The Colossians-passages, already quoted in another context, are about the spiritual power of baptism: "You ...
... 110 (Ephesians 4:10) - and it is made immediately consequent on the Resurrection in the sentences on God: "May he enlighten the eyes of your mind so that you can see... how infinitely great... is this power at work in Christ, when he used it to raise him from the dead and to make him sit at his right hand, in heaven, far above every Sovereignty, Authority, Power, or Domination..." (Ephesians 1:18-21)... Corinthians 5:17+, a 'new man', Ephesians 2:15+..." Of course, as the annotation adds, "This resurrection will not be complete or final until the end of time", but the Greek mind is liable to ignore the reservation and be satisfied with what, as The Jerusalem Bible goes on to say, "is already taking place in the form of a new life lived 'in the Spirit'..." From Ephesians 2:5-6 we learn: "when we... Corinthians 4:17; Philippians 3:21; Colossians 3:4... Psyche can be used in a wider sense as the opposite of the body to indicate what it is in a human being that behaves and feels, Philippians 1:27; Ephesians 6:6; Colossians 3:23..." We may add that when the wider sense does not fuse psyche with pneuma, for the Greek original of Philippians 1:27, unlike The Jerusalem Bible's free English rendering ...
... of all countries and races are covered by the passage. The implication is that Paul has met examples of them and converted them. As the Bible testifies, he has preached to Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Thessalonians and Romans. We know also of the various travels he made to places far removed from one another. Thanks to him, the Gospel has been preached for such "a witness" ...
... behind the third Gospel and Acts, there is involved the disqualification of Paul's John * In fairness it must be stated that a few Protestant exegetes regard Colossians, along with Ephesians, as a post-Pauline composition by a Paulinist, dating to the end of the 1st century or the beginning of the 2nd. But the majority are of the opposite opinion. All Catholic commentators, while recognising ...
... 24:26). The intimate and immediate connection between the resurrection and the ascension so understood is spelled out in John 20:17ff. and is implicit in many other New Testament texts (Acts 5:30-31; Ephesians 4:10; 1 Peter 3:21-22; Hebrews 4:14; 1 Timothy 3:16)." Benoit is ingenious but beside the mark. Jesus' state when he makes appearances to men is never called an ascension to a seat at God's right ...

The Page 219 "false teachings" which Scott puts in "Paul's lifetime" can be traced in both Ephesians and Colossians. The Roman Catholic commentator John H. Dougherty 74 writes: "From the doctrinal view both letters are eminently Christological. The error that occasioned their writing was a syncretism... world of difference between a belief in a Pantheos and a belief in an Almighty God, the sole Ens, who freely created a world in which Evil abounds? The sense of divine almightiness has led Paul (Ephesians 1:11; Romans 8:30) to affirm the predestination of the elect by God who works all things after the counsel of his will. The Jerusalem Bible 112 has a note on Romans 9:18,19: "Like the OT writers ...
