a
The discrepancy which appears in the English version of this text and {vi 29213}{/vi}, does not exist in the Greek: for Ephesians speaks of the acceptance in full grace of the person, while here it is of the desire that our service should be acceptable to Christ. "We may be well-pleasing (or acceptable) to Him" would be, I apprehend, more correct in point of doctrine, as well as in point of rendering.
