Ephesians 1:10

Ephesians 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: (KJV)

I can see Paul talking about two things in this statement: The mystery of the Gentiles being allowed into the Body of Christ, and the restoration of the Garden of Eden (Heaven) where this journey for mankind began.

The differences in spelling between the two sources are shown very well in this verse, the Strong’s numbers are the same for the words. I wish I could offer more insight on the variations but all of this is Greek to me.

  • Administration, oikonomian G3622. Luke uses this word in the story of the unfaithful steward in Luke 16. It is also used in Ephesians 3: 2 and 9.
  • Fullness, pleromatos G4138. It is used in Ephesians 1:23, 3:19, and 4:13.
  • Times, kairon G2540. See Ephesians 2:12, 5:16, and 6:18.
  • To bring together, anakephalaiosasthai G346. The only other time this word is used is in Romans 13:9, “summed up”.
  • All things, panata or pas G3956.
  • The things, ta G3588.
  • Heavens, ouranois G3772.
  • Earth, ges G1093. See Ephesians 3:15, 4:9, and 6:3.
