WK Translation Notes

+
a
The force of "obtained" (eklērōthēmen) is that we were allotted our inheritance, not "made a heritage," the word "and" adding this to our being called. For there are two main parts in the blessing: our calling, and also our inheritance, which embraces the universe as put under Christ (verse 10), given as Head over all things to the church which is His body. The church is in God’s grace and purpose the heavenly Eve of the Last Adam, to possess all things, not merely the things on the earth like the first man, but the things in the heavens.
