Additional Notes §3

1:15 / The NIV does not indicate that some Greek manuscripts omit the word love. The result of this is the unusual and unprecedented expression that faith is toward (eis) God’s people. The best explanation is that love belonged in the original text but was unintentionally omitted in the process of copying the manuscripts (see B. Metzger, A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament [New York: United Bible Society, 1971], p. 602; also, the explanation in Moule, Ephesians, p. 56). For comments on saints, cf. disc. on 1:1 and Col. 1:2.

1:17 / Westcott provides a helpful summary and explanation of “glory” in his Ephesians, pp. 187–89. On “knowledge” and wisdom, cf. disc. on Col. 1:9, 10, and the extended note on epignōsis in Robinson, pp. 249–54.

1:18 / The baptismal nature of 1 Peter is surveyed in R. P. Martin’s “The Composition of I Peter in Recent Study,” Vox Evangelica, 1 (1962), pp. 29–42. See also J. Coutts, “Ephesians 1:3–14 and 1 Peter 1:3–12,” NTS 3 (1956–57), pp. 115–27; F. L. Cross, 1 Peter: A Pascal Liturgy (London: Mowbray, 1954); F. W. Beare, The First Epistle of Peter, 3d ed. (Oxford: Blackwell’s, 1970). The reference for identifying enlightenment and baptism is in Justin’s Apology I, 61, 65. Additional discussion is in Ysebaret, Greek Baptismal Terminology, pp. 157ff.
