弗1:3-14
3 願頌讚歸於我們主耶穌基督的父神！他在基督裡曾賜給我們天上各樣屬靈的福氣， 4 就如神從創立世界以前在基督裡揀選了我們，使我們在他面前成為聖潔，無有瑕疵； 5 又因愛我們，就按著自己意旨所喜悅的，預定我們藉著耶穌基督得兒子的名分， 6 使他榮耀的恩典得著稱讚。這恩典是他在愛子裡所賜給我們的。 7 我們藉這愛子的血得蒙救贖，過犯得以赦免，乃是照他豐富的恩典。 8 這恩典是神用諸般智慧聰明，充充足足賞給我們的， 9 都是照他自己所預定的美意，叫我們知道他旨意的奧祕， 10 要照所安排的，在日期滿足的時候，使天上、地上一切所有的，都在基督裡面同歸於一。 11 我們也在他裡面得了基業，這原是那位隨己意行做萬事的，照著他旨意所預定的， 12 叫他的榮耀從我們這首先在基督裡有盼望的人，可以得著稱讚。 13 你們既聽見真理的道，就是那叫你們得救的福音，也信了基督，既然信他，就受了所應許的聖靈為印記。 14 這聖靈是我們得基業的憑據，直等到神之民被贖，使他的榮耀得著稱讚。
Ephesians 1:3-14
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace8 which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, 9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, 10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him. 11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, 12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

In this chapter, verse 3 to 14 consist a long sentence. The entire passage has three “to the praise of His glory”. Therefore, this passage can be divided into three praises: a) praise to the Holy Father (verse 4-6A); b) praise to the Holy Son (verse 6B-12); and c) praise to the Holy spirit (verse 13-14)
Praise the Lord! Although we don’t deserve to receive His blessings, He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. Praise the Lord! He is the source of all blessings, and make Christ our eternal blessing, our life, our treasure, our goal, our ability, our foundation and our everything.
Praise the Lord! The Holy Spirit comes abide within when we accept the Lord Jesus , guiding and managing us in every aspect of our lives. Through the work of the Holy Spirit and our own obedience, God is glorified and we are blessed!
本章第三節至十四節，在原文是一個長句。全段經文中有三個「得著稱讚」，所以，可以分為三段讚美：1. 對聖父的頌讚 (4-6節上)；2. 對聖子的頌讚 (6節下-12節)；3. 對聖靈的頌讚(13-14節)。
感謝 神！我們原是不配得到祂的祝福，祂卻把「天上各樣」屬靈的福氣，充充足足地賞賜給我們。感謝 神！祂是一切祝福的源頭，進而使基督成為我們永遠的福分、生命、至寶、標竿、能力、基業，和一切。
感謝 神！在我們信主後，就使聖靈內住到我們裏面，並使聖靈在凡事上管理和引導我們。同時，藉著聖靈的工作以及我們的順服，使 神得榮耀，我們蒙福！
