Summary
Summarized from the Encyclopedia Britannica: "Letter of Paul to the Ephesians, also called Epistle of St. Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians, (abbreviated Ephesians), is the tenth book of the New Testament...thought to have been composed by St. Paul the Apostle in prison..."
The letter declares that the Christian mystery (gospel) of salvation, first revealed to the Apostles, is the source of true wisdom (perhaps an indirect repudiation of Gnostic claims to esoteric knowledge of the supernatural) and that salvation through Christ is offered to Jews and Gentiles alike. The writer affirms that there is but "one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all" (4:5–6), who united all things in Christ, through whose death all humans are redeemed. The author exhorts his listeners - parents and children, masters and slaves - to lead exemplary Christian lives and to arm themselves with the "shield of faith", "the helmet of salvation", and "the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God" (6:16-17), in order to resist the wiles of the devil.
