Ephesians 1:11

Ephesians 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

  • Obtained an inheritance, eklerothemen  or kleroo G 2820. According to Mounce, this word is used only here in the New Testament, there may be other forms.
  • Being predestinated, proonsthentes  or proorizo G 4309. It is also used in verse 5.
  • According, kata
  • The purpose, prothesin G 4286.
  • Pas
  • Working, energountos or energeo G 1754. I hope you see the word “energy” in this word.
  • Counsel, boulen G1012. It resembles Boolean, but I did not check the etymology.
  • Will, thelematos G 2307. The will of God is mentioned four times in Chapter 1 (vs. 1, 5, 9, and 11). The word is used three more times in Ephesians, two of them are about the will of God.
