According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
All Commentaries on Ephesians 3:11 Go To Ephesians 3
John Chrysostom
AD 407
According to the eternal purpose. It has been now, he means, brought to pass, but not now decreed, it had been planned beforehand from the very first. According to the eternal purpose which He purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord. That is, according to the eternal foreknowledge; foreknowing the things to come, i.e., he means the ages to come; for He knew what was to be, and thus decreed it. According to the purpose of the ages, of those, perhaps, which He has made by Christ Jesus, because it was by Christ that every thing was made.
