Ephesians 1:18
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
研读注释
Study Note
The three-part content of Paul's prayer for enlightenment — what is the hope of his calling, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and the immeasurable greatness of his power toward those who believe — systematically describes the believer's past election, future glory, and present empowerment. The phrase 'eyes of your hearts enlightened' draws on Psalm 119:18 ('open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law') and implies that the truths described require divine illumination, not merely information. The prayer models a pastoral concern that doctrinal content not remain intellectual but transform the affective and volitional dimensions of Christian life. It anticipates the structure of Colossians 1:9-12, where Paul similarly prays for knowledge leading to fruitful living.
