| Résumé : |
Eph. 3:19 asks for the Ephesians to "be filled up to all the fullness of God." Several proposals obtain in current scholarship concerning the nature of the request: for the Ephesians to experience the fullness of God's love or being or moral character. However, Jewish Scriptures that envision God's sanctuary filled with his glory (Exod. 40; III Kgdms. 8; Ezek. 43), serve as an important backdrop to this prayer. The primary context of the prayer in 3:14-19, 2:19-22, viewing the Ephesians as a temple, specific terminology in the prayer (Christ dwelling in the Ephesians' hearts, being founded in love, the dimensions of Christ's love [referring to the altar]) and the doxology, which sees God receiving glory in the church, confirm that the request is for the Ephesians to be filled with God's glory. |
