Abstract
The article presents an examination into the literary composition of the New Testament passage of Ephesians 1:3-14. The author shows that the composition of Ephesians matches with the principles of Greek rhetoric as explained by the ancient rhetoricians themselves and exemplified in classical literature. Topics addressed include the rhetoricians' perspectives about periodic structure, the division of the sentence from Ephesians into its eight categories, and interpretation of each sentence.
