Interpretation based on the study: Messenger sent from God to declare His Thoughts and Will. Good News to those situated in Ephesinos, ancient Greek commercial city and capital of Iona, to give them understanding. Communicating His Favor to knit them together in a close bond, gathering to teach and govern them. Sealing them in His ownership to deliver, protect and enlighten, impressing His Character to penetrate and instruct them in His likeness and example. Completing to fully develop them by His Word to fasten them in His Favor, Strength and Mercy. Setting them firm to support and regulate them in His Rest, secure in His possession and ownership. As our Companion joined in union with us, He cherishes, comforts and keeps us alive in full flame. Acknowledging us in friendship, to shine His Light, maintain, preserve and protect us. Sealed and fastened in His bond of friendship, He saturates and immerses us to fully resemble and belong to Him completely.
