Although Ephesians (1:1) claims to have been written by Paul, most scholars think it was written after his death by one of his folowers.1

Ephesians Highlights

  • We are predestined by God to go to either heaven or hell. None of our thoughts, words, or actions can affect the final outcome. 1:4-5, 11

  •  God had his son murdered to keep himself from hurting others for things they didn't do. 1:7

  • Wives must submit to their husbands "in every thing" as though they were gods. "For the husband is the head of the wife." 5:22-24

  • Slaves must obey their masters "as unto Christ." 6:5
