\v 5 \f + \ft Some interpreters place the last phrase of Ephesians 1:4 \fqa in love \fqa* with verse 5 so that it reads, \fqa In love God chose us \fqa* . \f* God chose us beforehand for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will.

\v 6 Our adoption results in the praise of his glorious grace that he has freely given us in the One he loves.

* *Call* in the formula of the type, "he shall be called the Son of the Most High" (Luke 1:32): keep this formula in the ULB, but be aware of the metaphor that is operative here: in this verse, Jesus will not only be *called the Son of the Most High*, but he will be the Son of the Most High.

* *Hand* indicating power or possession: keep this metaphor in the ULB.

* Sentence-initial or preverbal *and* of the type, "and Joseph said," "and it came about," etc.: translate these without supplying "and." These occurrences of "and" in the ASV and its derivatives usually occur where the ASV translates the preverbal Greek particle *kai* or the Hebrew *vav * in the *wayyiqtol * verb form. The Greek particle *kai* was usually a Hebraism on the part of the New Testament writers that reflected their understanding that the Hebrew *wayyiqtol * form contained the conjunctive *vav* 'and.' This, however, was a misunderstanding, for modern scholarship has shown that the *wayyiqtol* form was a frozen form with parallels in cognate Semitic languages; it was the preferred Hebrew verb form for signaling event verbs in Hebrew narration. Good English style does not normally allow sentences to begin with "and." Only rarely is it allowable in the ULB, for dramatic effect. Otherwise, when you are tempted to start a sentence with "and," change the preceding period to a comma.

* **Shall** vs. **will** : in English future expressions in general, use "**will**" instead of "shall," e.g., "he is a prophet, and he <del>shall</del> **will** pray for you" (Gen 20:7). Note that some ASV future expressions are better updated into today's English by using the present tense, e.g., "I shall not drink from...the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come" (Luke 22:18) can be updated to "I **will** not drink...until the kingdom of God **comes**." Cases in which "shall" expresses obligation can usually be restructured, e.g., "You shall not steal" becomes " **Do** not steal," and "Shall I go and smite these Philistines?" (1 Sam. 23:2) becomes "**Should ** I go and attack these Philistines?" This general preference for "will" probably conforms to the instincts of most English native speakers. However, in genres such as prophecies, blessings, curses, and in other passages focusing on the expression of the speaker's intentionality, retain the use of "shall" in the ULB, e.g., "Yahweh said, **'Shall** I hide from Abraham what I am about to do...?'" (Gen 18:17), "A deliverer **shall** come to Zion," "every mountain and hill **shall** be made low."
