Ephesians 1:7   In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

Wow! How amazing is this little verse? There are six concepts here that the Church of Jesus needs to get back to teaching – receive, redemption, His blood, forgiveness, sin, and grace. Father give us wisdom.

• Received (we have), echo G2192. To have, hold, or keep.
• Redemption, apolytrosin G629. Ransom, release, deliverance.
• Blood, haimatos G129. To extend the meaning, it can be bloodshed or even who you are descended from.
• Forgiveness, aphesin G859. This word is used only 17 times. Hebrews 9:22 is important.
• Trespasses, paraptomation G3900. Stepping out of God’s Law.
• Kata (according)
• Riches, ploutos G4149. Paul uses this word five times in Ephesians.
• Charitos (grace)
• There are three “the” in the passage, they are all G3588. Compare the text in the two interlinears, they are spelled differently in Greek as are some other words.

I like to restate verses using some of the other meanings and thoughts associated with the words in them (my own translation). It helps to focus on the verse and its meaning.

We get to keep our deliverance because of His blood being shed, we have forgiveness when we step out of God’s way because of His grace. MT
