Ove sedmice, gledat ćemo Efežanima 1:1-14. To je isto tekst od Dragana je propovedao. Uredu je! Možemo učiti puno u tekstu.

Dragan je propovedao na "u Kristu". Ovo je jedan glavno ideju u ovom tekstu.

Koji stiha govori o "u Kristu" ili "u Njega" ili slično? Napišite ih (broj stiha). Koliko put Pavle je napisao ovaj? Šta znaći Pavle kada što pisao je "u Kristu"?

Šta tekst govori da Bog je učinio za ljudi ko su "u Kristu"? Napišite ih.

Koje komande Pavle da ljude? (Nagovještaj: Nije ništa imperativ glagol do sljedeče poglavlje!)

Ko dobiju hvalit u ovu tekstu? Bog, naravno! Napišite ih.

Koji drugi rijeci ili ideji vidiš da Pavle koristi u ovu tekstu, i onda on ponovio dalje u pismu? Napišite ih.

This week, we will look at 1.1-14. It is the same text from which Dragan preached; this is ok! We can dig deeper into the text

Dragan preached on "in Christ". This is one main idea.

Which verses talk about "in Christ" or "in Him"? List them. How many times does Paul write this? What does Paul mean when he writes "in Christ"?

What has God done for people who are "in Christ"? List them.

What commands does Paul give to people?

(Hint: there is not one imperative verb until the next chapter!)

Who receives praise in this text? God, of course! List them.

What other words or ideas do you see Paul use in this section, and repeat later in this letter?

Dragan je propovedao na "u Kristu". Ovo je jedan glavno ideju u ovom tekstu.

Koliko put Pavle je napisao ovaj? oko 11 Šta znaći Pavle kada što pisao je "u Kristu"? discussion.

It is a statement of fact, of position. This is who we are! This is what has been done for us or to us! I propose: what it means to live “in Christ” is the topic or theme of the second half of the book!

4.13: until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,. 4.13: da svi postignemo jedinstvo u vjeri i znanju o Božjem Sinu, da odrastemo u zrele ljude i postanemo poput Krista u punini njegovog savršenstva.

4.15: Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, Umjesto toga, govorit ćemo istinu s ljubavlju. Tako ćemo rasti da budemo poput Krista u svakom pogledu.

It tells, in relationships in this world, what it looks like.
