簡單的事情你搞不懂?為什麼?因為你不看時態☝️“揀選”乃創始以前的作為,早已在eternal past完成,成聖和得榮耀是在後來的事情,這麼簡單的事情你搞不懂?
1:4d So that we would be holy and blameless in his presence (εἶναι ἡμᾶς ἁγίους καὶ ἀμώμους κατενώπιον αὐτοῦ). The infinitive phrase here expresses the purpose or goal of the election. Under the old covenant, God summoned his chosen people to a life of holiness and purity (Lev 11:44). This has not changed under the new covenant (see 1 Pet 1:16). Thus, Paul begins the second half of the letter with the admonition to “walk worthily of the calling to which you were called” (Eph 4:1). The prepositional phrase (κατενώπιον αὐτοῦ), however, suggests that Paul is thinking about that time in the future when all believers will stand before God. This is the idea behind the parallel passage in Colossians, where Paul’s goal in ministry is to present believers holy and blameless “before” God (Col 1:22). It is also suggested by Paul’s statement of Christ’s goal of presenting the church to himself without spot or wrinkle and that she should be “holy and blameless” (Eph 5:27). Although Paul envisions a process of renewal and becoming holy, he also recognizes that based on the work of Christ on the cross, believers have already been bestowed with holiness. He thus refers to believers as “holy ones” nine times in this letter (see 1:1, 15, 18; 2:19; 3:8, 18; 4:12; 5:3; 6:18).
