Weymouth New Testament - Bible (WNT) NT 10: Ephesians

«Get along with each other, and be a loving, faithful community! Be pure in your life and conduct your relationships with others in a holy, not profane manner! Respect your diverse spiritual gifts, and know that you are a strong Body, connected by Christ! Wear the Armor of God and prepare for a spiritual battle with all those nasty forces that will try to dissuade you from following Jesus!» This, as crude as it sounds, could be a more modern English way of summarizing Paul's message to the Christian fellowship in Ephesus. The Apostle to the Gentiles (those outside of the people of Israel) tells us about that God-given role, and gives practical teachings about personal and relationship conduct. — Summary by Mark Penfold
