The Key Word — γνωρίσας, gnōrizōgenerated
The verb γνωρίζω (gnōrizō) means to make known or inform, derived from γιγνώσκω (gignosko), which means to know. It is used in the New Testament to denote the act of revealing information, often in a context of divine revelation, such as in John 15:15.
In this verse, it indicates that God has actively disclosed His will to us, which is a significant theme in Paul's writings. The aorist participle indicates a completed action, emphasizing that this revelation is definitive and established.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'And He has made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ.' The KJV uses 'Having made known unto us the mystery of his will,' while the ASV states 'making known unto us the mystery of his will.'
Where the translations differ is in the rendering of γνωρίσας. The KJV and others use 'having made known,' while the BSB opts for 'made known,' and some translations like the NETB choose 'revealed.'
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the sentence is γνωρίσας, having made known, which governs the entire clause. This is followed by a noun phrase that identifies what has been made known: 'the mystery of His will.'
The structure of the sentence shows that it is complex, with multiple phrases elaborating on the main idea. The prepositional phrase 'according to His good pleasure' modifies how God's will is revealed, while the relative clause 'which He purposed in Christ' provides further detail about the nature of this revelation.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
μυστήριον is used in the New Testament to refer to divine secrets, often requiring initiation to understand. In the Septuagint, it translates Hebrew words like רָז (raz), which also conveys the idea of hidden truths or secrets.
The connection between the Greek and Hebrew terms highlights the continuity of God's revelation throughout Scripture, emphasizing that mysteries are disclosed to those who are receptive to His word.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Ephesians 1:9 tells us that God has revealed the mystery of His will to us. This means that God's intentions and plans are clear and have been shared with believers. This revelation aligns with His good pleasure and was established through Christ.

The early church on this verse — how the Fathers read it
Early church writers like Tertullian and Origen commented on this verse, discussing the implications of God's purpose and the mystery of His will as revealed in Christ.

For the rest, except in four passages of the Apocalypse (Revelation 1:20; Revelation 10:7; Revelation 17:5; Revelation 17:7), it is used by St. Paul alone, and by him no less than twenty-one times, of which ten belong to this Epistle and the parallel Epistle to the Colossians—always in connection with such words as “knowledge,”…

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
ut notum faceret nobis sacramentum voluntatis suæ, secundum beneplacitum ejus, quod proposuit in eo,
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

The map of this verse — what each word keeps company with
This is a map of two things, both counted rather than judged. Company kept: which words stand within three words of each of these, anywhere in the Greek New Testament — the thicker the line, the more often the pair meet compared with chance. Built from: the words a word is made out of, taken from its own Strong’s entry. It is not a map of meaning: nothing here claims two words mean the same thing.

γνωρίζω (gnorizo) means to make known or to know, derived from the verb γιγνώσκω (gignosko). It covers the act of revealing information or becoming acquainted with someone or something. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, such as John 15:15 and Philippians 1:22. The entries do not indicate any significant disagreement among lexicons.

Deissmann (ZAZ p. 134 ff.) has drawn attention to the parallels to the solemn use of the first personal pronoun in the Fourth Gospel that may be adduced from inscriptions and magical texts. Thus in an inscr. in honour of Isis from Ios, written in ii/iii A.p., the contents of which are preChristian, we find —Elows ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ τ[ύρανν]ος πάσης χόρας.. ἐγὼ νόμους ἀνθρώποις ἐθέμην . . ἐγώ εἰμι Kpdvov θυγάτηρ πρεσβυτάτη α΄.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

μυστήριον (musterion) refers to a mystery or secret doctrine, often requiring initiation to understand. In the New Testament, it signifies divine secrets revealed by God, particularly concerning salvation through Christ, as seen in verses like Romans 16:25 and Colossians 1:26. The term encompasses both general truths of the Christian faith and specific revelations, such as the mysteries of the kingdom of God.

that which is known to the μύστης (initiated), a mystery or secret doctrine, mostly in pl., τὰ μ. (Æsch., Hdt., al.).
In later writers (Menand., Incert., 168), that which may not be revealed (not, however, as in the modern sense, intrinsically difficult to understand), a secret or mystery of any kind (To 12:7, 11, Jth 2:2, II Mac 13:21).

mis'-ter-i (musterion; from mustes, "one initiated into mysteries"; mueo "to initiate," muo, "to close" the lips or the eyes; stem mu-, a sound produced with closed lips; compare Latin mutus, "dumb"): Its usual modern meaning (equals something in itself obscure or incomprehensible, difficult or impossible to understand) does not convey the exact sense of the Greek musterion, which means a secret imparted only to the initiated, what is unknown until it is revealed, whether it be easy or hard to understand. The idea of incomprehensibility if implied at all, is purely accidental. The history of the word in ancient paganism is important, and must be considered before we examine its Biblical usage.

Means strictly a secret, and is so used when spoken of the heathen "mysteries" or secret rites, which were full of all manner of abominations. In the Scriptures the word "mystery" denotes those truths of religions which, without a revelation from God, would have remained unknown to man. Our Savior says to his disciples, that they are peculiarly happy, because God has revealed to them "the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven," Mt 16:17 11:25 Lu 10:21-24. Paul explains the word in Eph 3:1-9; and often speaks of the mystery of the gospel, of the mystery of the cross of Christ, of the mystery of Christ which was unknown to former ages, of the mystery of the incarnation, the resurrection, etc.,

In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.
Lamentations 3:1.
The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

The Greek word θέλημα (thelēma) means 'will' or 'desire' and is derived from the verb θέλω (thelō). It refers to what is willed or desired, both objectively (the thing willed) and subjectively (the act of willing). In the New Testament, it often describes God's will, as seen in phrases like θέλημα τοῦ θεοῦ (thelema tou theou), meaning 'the will of God.' The lexicons do not present significant disagreements on its meaning.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

κατά (kata) is a preposition used with the genitive and accusative cases, primarily meaning 'down' or 'against.' It indicates direction, motion, or relation, appearing in various contexts such as 'down from' (e.g., Mt 8:32) and 'against' (e.g., Mk 9:40). The word also conveys meanings like 'throughout' and 'according to.' Lexicons note its frequent use in the New Testament, with some variations in application.

(cf. Proleg. p. 105). Brugmann (Awrze Vergletchende Grammazk, p. 479) considers that the earliest use of the word was “‘along ” something, so as to remain in connexion and contact with the object, and from this most of the senses found in the NT can be derived.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word εὐδοκία (i.e., *eudokia*) means good pleasure, goodwill, or satisfaction. It is derived from the verb εὐδοκέω and appears in various New Testament contexts, such as Matthew 11:26 and Luke 2:14. The lexicons agree on its general meaning, though some emphasize its use in relation to God's approval or delight.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25.

The Greek word προτίθημι (i.e., *protithēmi*) means to set before or propose. It is built from the prefix προ- and the root τίθημι. The term covers a range of meanings, including to publicly present or propose something, as seen in Romans 3:25 and 1:13. It is also noted in various contexts, such as setting forth edicts or plans.
προ-τίθημι : 2 aor. mid. προεθέμην; [fr. Hom. down]; 1. to place before, to set forth, (cf. mpd, ἃ. a.]; spec. to set forth to be looked at, expose to view: Ex. xl.4; 4 Mace. viii. 11; Ael. ν. ἢ. 14, 8; and often in the mid. in this sense: ποτήρια ἀργύρεά τε καὶ χρύσεα, his own cups, Hdt. 3, 148; fo expose to public view, in which sense it is the technical term with profane authors in speaking of the bodies of the dead, [70 let lie in state], (cf. Passow s. v. I. 2; [L. and 8.s. v. II. 1]; Stallbaum on Plat. Phaedo p. 115 e.; [Kriiger on Thue. 2, 34, 1]); the mid. points to the owner of the thing exposed: so with τινά and a pred. ace. Ro. ili. 25 (the mid. seems to denote that it was his own Son whom he thus “set forth”; ef. viii. 32). 2: Mid. to set before one’s self, propose to one’s self; to purpose, determine, (Plato, Polyb., al.) : foll. by the inf.

A principal thing to notice about this preposition, which in the King James Version represents about 16 Hebrew and as many Greek words and prepositions, is that, in hundreds of cases (especially in the Old Testament, but frequently also in the New Testament) in the Revised Version (British and American) the rendering is changed to more exact forms ("to," "unto," "by," "upon," "at," "with," "among," "for," "throughout," etc.; compare e.g. Ge 6:16; 13:8; 17:7,9,12; 18:1; Ex 8:17; Le 1:9, etc.); while, nearly as often, "in" is substituted for divergent forms of the King James Version (e.g. Ge 2:14; 17:11; 31:54; 40:7; 49:17; Ex…

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.
