Ephesians 1:8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; (KJV)
This is a good place to remind you that a French printer added the chapter and verse numbers. I give credit to modern translators for the punctuation, sentences, and paragraphs. So, remember to read the complete thought as it was written, which in this case is probably 1:7 and 8.
- Abounded, eperisseusen G 4052. More than enough, overflow, to have an excessive amount. Used only once in Ephesians, but 39 times in the New Testament.
- All, paz or pase G 3956.
- Wisdom, Sophia G 4678.
- Prudence, phronesei G 5428. Understanding – This word is used only twice in the New Testament. The time is in Luke 1:17, which is Gabriel’s prophecy about John.
I will do this again at the end of verse 10 because no one likes a last-minute assignment. Start at verse 1:3 and go to 1:10 and underline what the Father is doing and has done. I am trying to get us to see the Father’s actions and how Jesus was part of that plan. The He, Him, titles, and names can run together and we lose track of who is doing what.
