• Ephesians 1:4–5Bible Verses

  A passage stating that God "hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world" and in love predestinated us "unto the adoption of children." It is a key text on predestination and election, which Calvinism, Arminianism, and Karl Barth's doctrine of election each read differently.

• Ephesians 2:8–9Bible Verses

  Ephesians 2:8–9 is a passage of Paul's letter declaring, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." It is widely regarded as the passage that best summarizes the Reformation principles of "grace alone" and "faith alone," and what the word "that" refers to remains a matter of discussion.

• Ephesians 4:11–12Bible Verses

  This passage states that Christ gave apostles, prophets, evangelists, and pastors and teachers for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry. It is a basis for the doctrine of church offices and for lay ministry, and whether the offices of apostle and prophet continue today remains debated.

• Ephesians 5:18Bible Verses

  Ephesians 5:18 reads, "And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit" (KJV). It is a key verse on being filled with the Holy Spirit, and interpreters and denominations differ in their emphases on what that filling means. In Korean Protestant churches it is also frequently cited as a basis for the tradition of abstaining from alcohol.

• Ephesians 5:22-25Bible Verses

  A passage that moves from "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord" to "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it." It is frequently read at wedding services, and interpretations of what it teaches about the relationship between men and women and about authority in the home differ sharply.
