• We are interested in the glory of Christ as well as blessed in Him. Our nearness to God and our perfectness before Him enable us to be interested in the counsels of God as to the purposed glory of His Son. (“Ephesians 1” by J.N. Darby)
• The good pleasure of God was to unite all that is created under the hand of Christ. This is His purpose for the administration of the times in which the result of all His ways shall be manifested. (“Ephesians 1” by J.N. Darby)
• The eternal state, in which God is all in all, is again another thing. The administration of the fullness of times is the result of the ways of God in government; the eternal state, that of the perfection of His nature. (“Ephesians 1” by J.N. Darby)
• The administration of the fullness of times is the result of the ways of God in government; the eternal state, that of the perfection of His nature. We, even in the government, are brought in according to His nature as sons. (“Ephesians 1” by J.N. Darby)

WK Translation Notes

a
Or, "were even cut off."
b
It is almost needless to say that these set times are not yet completed, and that Christ has not yet all things in the heavens and on the earth headed up in Him, and that the church is not yet reigning joint-heir with Him. The translation, which has been supposed to involve one, and which to be consistent ought to involve all, of these consequences is a mistake. "That for the dispensation of the fullness of seasons, He hath headed up for Himself all things in Christ," is a version founded upon a misconception of the force of the aorist infinitive being abstract. The word for "to sum up" is as capable of referring to the future as to the past. You cannot gather the time of actual occurrence from that word in itself. The purpose of God was, "that He might gather," or "to gather together" etc. The object was not to express the time of the gathering; and this is so true, that usually the aorist infinitive is expressed in Latin and English by the present. Moreover, as here, the infinitive of the aorist is often employed, where we might have expected that of the future, because the action is considered in itself as concluded; and its future occurrence is sufficiently indicated by the governing verb, and the context generally. Besides this, the infinitive aorist is generally used if the principal verb be in that tense.
