Summary of Ephesians 6
Ephesians chapter 6 continues the unfolding story of Ephesians, written by Paul (c. AD 60-62). To grasp this chapter, read it slowly in context, watch what it reveals about God, and trace how it connects to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Key takeaway
Ephesians 6 invites us to know God better and respond in faith. As you read, ask: What does this passage say about who God is, who I am, and what I'm called to do?
How Ephesians 6 fits the whole book
Paul soars through God's eternal plan in Christ and grounds the church's unity, holiness, marriage, and mission in that gospel. Chapter 6 of Ephesians contributes to this larger story by deepening one or more of the book's themes — for example, god's character and glory and sin, grace, and redemption.
