rwp @Ephesians:1:22 @{He put all things in subjection } (\panta hupetaxen \). First aorist active indicative of \hupotass “\, quoted from strkjv @Psalms:8:7 | as in strkjv @1Corinthians:15:27 |. {Gave him to be head } (\auton ed “ken kephal ˆn \). {Gave } (\ed “ken \, first aorist active indicative of \did “mi \) to the church (the universal spiritual church or kingdom as in strkjv @Colossians:1:18 ,24 |) Christ as Head (\kephal ˆn \, predicate accusative ). This conception of \ekkl ˆsia \ runs all through Ephesians (3:10 ,21 ; strkjv @5:23 ,24 ,25 ,27 ,29 ,32 |). rwp @Ephesians:1:23 @{Which } (\h ˆtis \). "Which in fact is ," explanatory use of \h ˆtis \ rather than \h ˆ\. {The fulness of him that filleth all in all } (\to pl ˆr “ma tou ta panta en p ƒsin pl ˆroumenou \). This is probably the correct translation of a much disputed phrase . This view takes \pl ˆr “ma \ in the passive sense (that which is filled , as is usual , strkjv @Colossians:1:19 |) and \pl ˆroumenou \ as present middle participle , not passive . All things are summed up in Christ (1:10 |), who is the \pl ˆr “ma \ of God (Colossians:1:19 |), and in particular does Christ fill the church universal as his body . Hence we see in Ephesians the Dignity of the Body of Christ which is ultimately to be filled with the fulness (\pl ˆr “ma \) of God (3:19 |) when it grows up into the fulness (\pl ˆr “ma \) of Christ (4:13 ,16 |).
