Central Idea: All praise to God for the treasure of blessings we have in Christ, namely: He chose us in him; in him we have redemption; in him we have obtained an inheritance; and in him we were sealed with the Holy Spirit, all to the praise of his glory. Explanations: In trying to default to the big-picture view of this passage, I chose not to split out any prepositional phrases or relative clauses (with the exception of v.3 (*see below)) even though many develop significant content. The prepositional phrases are modifiers that cannot stand alone as subject-predicate propositions; and though the relative clauses have subject and predicate, they still 'simply' modify an antecedent. For example: v. 6, "... he has blessed us in the beloved [with his glorious grace]." v.8, "... he lavished upon us [the riches of his grace]." v.14, "[the Holy Spirit] is the guarantee of our inheritance..." This last was particularly tempting to split out because there is so much meat there, but my aim in this arc was to get at the flow of logic of the whole.(see ** below) *My exception to this is in v. 3 which presents the initial call to praise, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ," with the relative clause, "[t he Father] has blessed us in Christ..." which provides the motivation, or ground for our returned praise. kathos (even as) (v.4), stands somewhat over all that follows, v.4-14 showing the nature of these blessings more clearly. In this way I see a pattern of Paul stating four specific blessings that the believer has in Christ, each introduced with the phrase, "in him..."; each blessing is then developed by a clause introduced by an adverbial participle: v.4-6, he chose us in him... having lovingly predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ. v.7-10, In him we have redemption, forgiveness... having made known to us the mystery of his will. v.11-12, In him we have obtained an inheritance... having been predestined by a God who accomplishes all that he sets out to do. v.13-14, In him you were sealed with the Holy Spirit... having heard the gospel and having believed in him. (in this last case, the two participles modify "you," so I did not split them off as separate propositions) **I think I could make a case for splitting the relative clause giving it the connection, "you were sealed with the Holy Spirit - in that - he is the guarantee of our inheritance..." and thus continuing the action-manner pattern. There is certainly a lot of fruit left hanging in these clusters but I've attempted to show the primary structure of this passage.
