I’ll continue hearing with faith¹ the truth of the Gospel (Ephesians 1:15-22 ESV):

For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you² in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts³ enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what⁴ are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated⁵ him at his right hand in the heavenly places [Table], far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all [Table].

…his great might that he worked in Christ…

The Greek is: Διὰ τοῦτο, For this reason, καγὼ ἀκούσας τὴν καθ᾿ ὑμᾶς πίστιν, because I have heard of your faith, ἐν τῷ κυρίῳ Ἰησοῦ, in the Lord Jesus (or “by means of the Lord Jesus”), καὶ τὴν |ἀγάπην τὴν|, and your love, εἰς πάντας τοὺς ἁγίους, toward all the saints. The Greek words translated the Lord, τῷ κυρίῳ, are in the dative case.

The dative is the case of the indirect object, or may also indicate the means by which something is done.⁶

And here I can argue that “by means of” is more than an interesting option. It is the more appropriate translation. Paul continued: οὐ παύομαι, I do not cease, εὐχαριστῶν, to give thanks (or “giving thanks” or “feeling obligated to thank [God]”) ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν, for you (or “about you”), μνείαν ποιούμενος, remembering you (literally, “remembering to do”), ἐπὶ τῶν προσευχῶν μου, in my prayers.

Why does Paul praise God or feel obligated to thank Him for the saints who are in Ephesus?⁷ Why not praise them instead for their faith in the Lord Jesus and [their] love toward all the saints?⁸ Did Paul know (and write quite clearly) that God was responsible for both their faith and their love toward all the saints by means of the Lord Jesus? The answer to the question whether Paul knew this is an undeniable “yes,” and translating ἐν τῷ κυρίῳ Ἰησοῦ otherwise only encourages those who are unaccustomed to the leading of the indwelling Holy Spirit and unfamiliar with the power of God to wonder why we must thank God for our own works of obedience.

Granted, even that question—why must I thank and praise God for my own obedience?—led by the Holy Spirit may lead one to contemplate the difference between foolish Galatians, whose works of obedience were achieved (or not) by being perfected by the flesh through law, and the saints in Ephesus, whose works of obedience were achieved by the Spirit by hearing with faith. It prompts me to wonder how foolish Galatians would have perceived and received the saints in Ephesus. Would they have recognized their godliness and been restored in a spirit of gentleness, or would they have disdained them for their disregard of the rules by which the foolish Galatians justified themselves? And how would the saints in Ephesus have perceived and received the foolish Galatians? Would they have stood firm in the freedom for which Christ had set them free, or would they have been tempted by outward appearances to be justified by law and perfected by the flesh? 

Paul’s thought continued: ἵνα, that (or “in order that” or “so that”), ὁ θεὸς τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, ὁ πατὴρ τῆς δόξης, the Father of glory, δώῃ ὑμῖν, may give you (e.g., “may give to you” rather than “may give by means of you”), πνεῦμα σοφίας καὶ ἀποκαλύψεως ἐν ἐπιγνώσει αὐτοῦ, the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him (or “wisdom’s and revelation’s spirit by means of his knowledge”).

The verb δώῃ, may give (ESV), is a form of δίδωμι in the subjunctive mood. The conjunction ἵνα indicates that this is a purpose or result clause.

The subjunctive mood indicates probability or objective possibility…However if the subjunctive mood is used in a purpose or result clause, then the action should not be thought of as a possible result, but should be viewed as a definite outcome that will happen as a result of another stated action.⁹

We are meant to hear the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, will grant to you “wisdom’s and revelation’s spirit by means of his knowledge,” even though the verb is not δώσει in the future tense and indicative mood. So, what is “another stated action” that moves “He may grant to you wisdom’s and revelation’s spirit by means of his knowledge” from “a possible result” to “a definite outcome that will happen”? I do not cease giving thanks for you, remembering to do [so] in my prayers.

…and coming to his hometown [Jesus] taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished,¹⁰ and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not¹¹ his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph¹² and Simon and Judas? And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” And they took offense (ἐσκανδαλίζοντο, a passive form of σκανδαλίζω) at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his¹³ hometown and in his own household.” And he did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief (ἀπιστίαν, a form of ἀπιστία).¹⁴

Paul supplied the faith through his persistent thanksgiving for many mighty works (δυνάμεις πολλὰς) of God: “wisdom’s and revelation’s spirit by means of [God’s] knowledge” given as gifts to individual saints in Ephesus. This is instructive to those who like foolish Galatians believe they are being perfected by the flesh.¹⁵ It is more instructive to the spiritual who are tasked with the obligation to restore [them] in a spirit of gentleness.¹⁶ Who else will supply the faith for the many mighty works of God they so desperately require as they themselves put…confidence (πεποιθότες, a form of πείθω) in the flesh?¹⁷

For I tell you, Jesus said, unless your righteousness (ὑμῶν ἡ δικαιοσύνη) exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.¹⁸ This no longer means that one must do the old covenant better than the scribes and Pharisees (if it ever did). Christ has come; Christ has died; Christ is risen again…. So now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.¹⁹ No righteousness of my own derived from the law exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, but only the righteousness that comes by way of Christ’s faithfulness—a righteousness from God that is in fact based on Christ’s faithfulness.²⁰

By means of Christ I have been crucified, but I live hereafter not I but He lives within me, Christ, so who now I live within flesh, by faithfulness I live by means of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.²¹

In other words, I am not the hero of my own story; Jesus is the hero of my story. Paul continued: πεφωτισμένους τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τῆς καρδίας [ὑμῶν], having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, εἰς τὸ εἰδέναι ὑμᾶς, that you may know (or “for you to know”), τίς ἐστιν ἡ ἐλπὶς τῆς κλήσεως αὐτοῦ, what is the hope to which he has called you (or “what is the hope of his calling”), τίς ὁ πλοῦτος τῆς δόξης τῆς κληρονομίας αὐτοῦ ἐν τοῖς ἁγίοις, what…the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints.

That this enlightenment in every heart drawn to Him constitutes many mighty works of God is borne out in experience as well as in word. There is very little in human nature or the human construction of religion to dissuade one from being perfected by the flesh—now!—even less to persuade one to be among those who eagerly wait (ἀπεκδεχόμεθα, a form of ἀπεκδέχομαι) for the hope (ἐλπίδα, a form of ἐλπὶς) of righteousness.²²

Paul’s thought continued: καὶ τί τὸ ὑπερβάλλον μέγεθος, and what…the immeasurable greatness, τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ, of his power, εἰς ἡμᾶς τοὺς πιστεύοντας, toward us who believe, κατὰ τὴν ἐνέργειαν, according to the working, τοῦ κράτους τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ, of his great might, Ην |ἐνήργησεν|, that he worked, ἐν τῷ Χριστῷ, in Christ (or “by means of Christ,” e.g., the life by hearing with faith that Jesus lived on earth), ἐγείρας αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν, “to awaken him” from “death,” καὶ καθίσας, and seated him (or “and install”), ἐν δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ, at his right hand (or “by means of his right hand”), ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις, in the heavenly places, ὑπεράνω πάσης ἀρχῆς, far above all rule, καὶ ἐξουσίας, and authority, καὶ δυνάμεως, and power, καὶ κυριότητος, and dominion, καὶ παντὸς ὀνόματος ὀνομαζομένου, and…every name that is named, οὐ μόνον ἐν τῷ αἰῶνι τούτῳ, not only in this age, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐν τῷ μέλλοντι, but also in the one to come.

Such is the power that works in us who through the Spirit, by faith…eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness.²³ You…who would be justified by means of law are severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.²⁴ You have no hope but being perfected by the flesh,²⁵ achieving a righteousness—your own righteousness derived from the law—which never exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees.²⁶ Brothers, Paul commanded, even if anyone is caught in any transgression, you, the spiritual, must restore him in a spirit of gentleness.²⁷

Paul continued: καὶ πάντα ὑπέταξεν, And all things he put (or “And all He subjected”), ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ, under his feet, καὶ αὐτὸν ἔδωκεν, and him [He] gave, κεφαλὴν ὑπὲρ πάντα τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ, head over all…to the church, ἥτις ἐστὶν τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ, which is his body (or “who is his body”), τὸ πλήρωμα τοῦ, the fullness of him who, τὰ πάντα ἐν πᾶσιν πληρουμένου, [the] all in all fills (or “the all, by means of all, being filled full”).

The truth to be hearing with faith is: For this reason, because I have heard of your faith by means of the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease giving thanks about you, remembering to do [so] in my prayers, in order that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you wisdom’s and revelation’s spirit by means of his knowledge, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened for you to know what is the hope of his calling, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked by means of Christ to awaken him from death and install [Him] by means of his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And all He subjected under his feet and him [He] gave, head over all to the church, who is his body, the fullness of him who the all [fills], by means of all, being filled full.

To the Galatians Paul had written (Galatians 6:7-9 ESV):

Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not grow weary²⁸ of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

The Greek is: Μὴ πλανᾶσθε, Do not be deceived, θεὸς οὐ μυκτηρίζεται, God is not mocked, ὃ γὰρ ἐὰν σπείρῃ ἄνθρωπος, for whatever one sows, τοῦτο καὶ θερίσει, that also will he reap, ὅτι ὁ σπείρων, For the one who sows, εἰς τὴν σάρκα ἑαυτοῦ, to his own flesh, ἐκ τῆς σαρκὸς θερίσει φθοράν, from the flesh will reap corruption, ὁ δὲ σπείρων, but the one who sows, εἰς τὸ πνεῦμα, to the Spirit, ἐκ τοῦ πνεύματος θερίσει ζωὴν αἰώνιον, from the Spirit will reap life eternal, τὸ δὲ καλὸν ποιοῦντες, And [the] good doing (or “And the beautiful doing”), μὴ ἐγκακῶμεν, “we may” not grow weary, καιρῷ γὰρ ἰδίῳ, for in due season (or “for by means of its own season”), θερίσομεν, we will reap, μὴ ἐκλυόμενοι, if we do not give up (literally, “not becoming weary”).

The immediate context is: Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches.²⁹ Here the Greek is: Κοινωνείτω δὲ, He must share now, ὁ κατηχούμενος τὸν λόγον, the one who is taught the word, τῷ κατηχοῦντι, “to” the one who teaches, ἐν πᾶσιν ἀγαθοῖς, “by means of” all “goods,” not just food, shelter and clothing but the benefits the Lord has provided one through that teaching, encouragement that the Lord is working through the teacher’s teaching of his Word.

But the truth of reaping and sowing is too fundamental to be withheld from Paul’s general and more pervasive context in his letter to foolish Galatians: you who would be justified by the law³⁰ by being perfected by the flesh,³¹ having a righteousness of [your] own that comes from the law³² are sowing to your own flesh. Sowing to the Spirit seems counterintuitive if one finds herself in a home or religious situation where people bite and devour one another,³³ or one’s own anxiety over sin fosters conceit, provoking one another [by] envying one another:³⁴ For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness,³⁵ the righteousness that comes by way of Christ’s faithfulness—a righteousness from God that is in fact based on Christ’s faithfulness.³⁶ This is sowing to the Spirit, “for by means of its own season” we will reap,³⁷ “not becoming weary” by hearing with faith.³⁸

For our freedom Christ has us set free; therefore you stand firm and cannot entangle yourselves in a yoke of slavery again.³⁹ I’ll pick this up in another essay.

Translating ὑμᾶς, a form of ὑμεῖς in the accusative case as if it were in the genitive case, of your faith in Ephesians 1:15, took me by surprise. Ordinarily, I would expect that to be ὑμῶν (see Table below). But I found nine other examples (See Table below) in the New Testament. Six of them occur in the phrase δι’ ὑμᾶς. Though I might translate it literally as “through you,” it is apparently translated idiomatically as for your sake or for your benefit. There are three others that follow the pattern found in Ephesians 1:15.

Reference	ESV	NA28
Acts 17:28	of your own poets	τῶν καθ’ ὑμᾶς ποιητῶν

Acts 24:22	your case	τὰ καθ’ ὑμᾶς
Ephesians 1:15	of your faith	τὴν καθ’ ὑμᾶς πίστιν

Apparently an article (τῶν, τοῦ, τὰ, τὴν), followed by the preposition καθ’ and the pronoun ὑμᾶς, whether followed or preceded by a noun or not (ποιητῶν, νόμου, πίστιν), transforms the accusative ὑμᾶς into something more like a genitive, your.
