\nThe words “hath he quickened” (made alive together with<\/i>), are not in the text, and without them verse 1 really isn’t a complete thought. Therefore the translators, and Dr. Bullinger, considered this to be an Ellipsis<\/b> based upon the use of the word in verse 5. “Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened <\/a>us together with Christ…”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nThis then would be an Ellipsis<\/a>\u00a0 of Repetition<\/a>, where the omitted word is to be supplied out of a succeeding clause<\/a> (verse 5<\/a>). In verse 5 the Greek word for quickened (made alive together with) syzoopoieo <\/i>is in the Aorist tense, which is generally understood in English as a simple past tense. Referring back to verse 1 we encounter a difficulty in the verb “being”, \u1f44\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1\u03c2 <\/span><\/span><\/span>ontas<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/i>, as it is a present tense, and would therefore seem to contradict already having been made alive. The Ellipsis of Repetition out of verse 5 would therefore relieve this contradiction by supplying the past tense “hath He quickened”. <\/span><\/span><\/span>And you hath He (past tense) made alive who at that time (present tense) were dead in your trespasses and sins<\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>
\n
\n<\/a>This too presents another difficulty as to when was at that time<\/i>. Dr. Bullinger offers an alternative suggestion of Ellipsis that, in part, clears that difficulty. He suggests considering the Ellipsis to be supplied from 1:19 and 20 “…the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, which He wrought in Christ when He raised him from the dead…..and you [when you were raised in him, and quickened with him] were dead in trespasses and sins”. Here he offers an Ellipsis of Repetition from a previous clause in Eph. 1:20 “raised him from the dead”, and combines it with the Ellipsis of Repetition from a succeeding clause in Eph. 2:5.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If we consider an alternative rendering of the word kai<\/i> that begins verse 1 of chapter 2 with “also<\/i>“, rather than “and<\/i>“, the flow from 1:20 seems to fit. Although kai<\/i> is generally translated as and<\/i>, the KJV translates it also<\/i> 514 times, so translating it also<\/i> does have justification. “…..when He raised him from the dead…..also you [were raised in him, and quickened with him] who were dead in trespasses and sins”. We were dead, but God raised us up from among the dead when He raised His son, the Lord Jesus Christ. This is part of our identification with Christ.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Association: in verses 1 and 2 he is addressing those to whom the epistle was written. Then, in verse 3, while the subject matter remains the same, he includes himself with them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Verse 2
\nAntimereia<\/strong>: pg. 503<\/a> explains that the word sons <\/b><\/i>or children <\/b><\/i>with a noun (in regimen) is used idiomatically, and denotes the nature<\/b><\/i> or character<\/b><\/i> of those mentioned, and may even denote their source<\/b><\/i> or origin<\/b><\/i>“.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Metonymy<\/b>: The KJV uses the word “course” here when translating the word <\/span><\/span>\u03b1\u1f30\u1f7d\u03bd, <\/span><\/span><\/span>aion<\/a>. “age<\/b><\/i>” exchanged with the people<\/b><\/i> of this world, or age<\/b><\/i>; (according to the age of this kosmos).

\nSee also “Metonymy: the god of this world<\/i><\/a>” by Kenneth J. Rossoll.
\n<\/a><\/span><\/span>
\nIdioma<\/b>: “children of wrath”. A stronger implication than “wrathful children”, which would be the demonstration of their character. Children do not become “un-children” of their parents, but are forever family. Dr. Bullinger saw this to mean children of Satan, or the Devil by spiritual birth. Because there are many various implications for the word children<\/a>, I hesitate to join in agreement with him. Whatever the actual meaning, it is clearly an Idiomatic expression.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Verse 3
\n Anacoluthon<\/b>: change from second person to first person. In verses 1 and 2 the pronoun is “ye”, but then changes to “we” in verse 3, even though addressing the same subject.
\nhttps:\/\/biblehub.com\/interlinear\/ephesians\/2.htm<\/a><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n


\nAntimereia<\/b>: in addition to pg. 500, see also pg. 498<\/a> and the discussion about mighty angels. Flesh<\/a> (sarkos) is the noun used as an adjective, but by using the noun, it puts special emphasis on the noun “flesh”. Even though “flesh” is used, and only a part of the whole, I do not believe it be a Synecdoche, for the mind, or thoughts, also is\/are mentioned. Flesh is only part of the body as a whole, but if the word is used as an adjective it is emphasizing a quality relating to desires. Synecdoche is a special form of Metonymy. Synecdoche deals with quantity, whereas Metonymy deals with quality. “Thoughts”, as relating to the flesh, is a quality of the flesh, making this Metonymy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Association<\/b>: this goes hand in hand with the Anacoluthon when Paul includes himself with those he is addressing.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Verse 4
\nAnthropopatheia<\/b>: Rich. God condescends to the level of man so as for man to better understand Him. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Verse 5
\nEpitrechon<\/b>: : (“by grace ye are saved”). This is a type of parenthesis that is not complete in itself. It is thrown in to add to what has been said.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Idioma<\/b>: Quickened; an obsolete word meaning “to make alive<\/i>“. https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/americandictiona02websrich\/page\/n401\/mode\/2up<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nVerse 7
\nAnthropopatheia<\/b>: kindness.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nVerse 8
\nGenitive Case<\/b>: “The gift of God” (which God gives).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nVerse 13
\nMetalepsis<\/b>: this is a Metonymy within another Metonymy. Blood exchanged for death, and death exchanged for the atonement his death accomplished.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Anacoluthon<\/b>: change from second person to first person.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nVerse 14
\nAnacoluthon<\/b>: a change from the second person to the first person.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nVerse 20
