<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>2</span>When the gospel began to spread in Ephesus, it caused “no small stir” (Acts 19:23) among the Ephesians.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>3</span>Local craftsmen who produced shrines to a pagan goddess saw Christianity as a threat to their livelihood, and soon “they were full of wrath, … and the whole city was filled with confusion” (see Acts 19:27–29).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>4</span>Imagine being a new convert to the gospel in such a setting.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>5</span>Many Ephesians did accept and live the gospel amid this “uproar” (Acts 19:40), and Paul assured them that “Christ … is our peace” (Ephesians 2:13–14).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>6</span>These words, along with his invitation to “let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away” (Ephesians 4:31) seem as timely and comforting now as they were then.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>7</span>For the Ephesians, as for you, the strength to face adversity comes “in the Lord, and in the power of his might” (Ephesians 6:10–13).</p>

<div class='section'>Ephesians 1:4–11, 17–19</div>
<div class='section'>以弗所書1：4-11，17-19</div>
<div class='section'>Has God “chosen” or “predestinated” some of His children to be saved?</div>
<div class='section'>神是否早已在祂的兒女中「揀選」或「預定」某些人才能得救？</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>8</span>Paul spoke of the Saints being “predestinated” by God and “chosen … before the foundation of the world” to be His people.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>9</span>As President Henry B. Eyring has noted, the fact that so many people live and die without the chance to receive the gospel causes some to “conclude that God must have determined in advance which of His children He would save and made the gospel available to them, while those who never heard the gospel simply were not ‘chosen.’</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>10</span>But … God’s plan is much more loving and just than that.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>11</span>Our Heavenly Father is anxious to gather and bless all of His family”.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>12</span>(“Gathering the Family of God,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2017, 20–21)</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>13</span>All of God’s children can accept the gospel and its ordinances because of the work performed for the dead in holy temples.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>14</span>Although no one is predestined to be saved or not saved, modern revelation teaches that some were chosen or “foreordained” in the premortal world to fulfill certain responsibilities here on earth.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>15</span>This includes the responsibility that all Latter-day Saints have to share the gospel and help all of God’s children on both sides of the veil come to Christ.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>16</span>(See “Foreordination,” Gospel Topics, topics.lds.org.)</p>
<div class='section'>Ephesians 1:10</div>
<div class='section'>以弗所書1：10</div>
<div class='section'>God will “gather together in one all things in Christ.”</div>
<div class='section'>神會使「一切所有的都在基督裏面同歸於一」。</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>17</span>Have you ever wondered what “the dispensation of the fulness of times” is or what it means to “gather together in one all things in Christ”?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>18</span>As you ponder these phrases, read the following scriptures: Ephesians 4:13; 2 Nephi 30:7–8; Doctrine and Covenants 110:11–16; 112:30–32; 128:18–21.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>19</span>You may feel inspired to write your own explanations of these phrases.</p>
<div class='section'>Ephesians 2:19–22; 4:11–16</div>
<div class='section'>以弗所書2：19-22；4：11-16</div>
<div class='section'>The Church is founded on apostles and prophets, and Jesus Christ is the chief cornerstone.</div>
<div class='section'>教會是建造在使徒和先知的根基上，並有耶穌基督為首要房角石。</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>20</span>Reading Paul’s teachings about apostles and prophets can help you prepare to hear the messages of modern apostles and prophets during general conference.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>21</span>According to Ephesians 2:19–22; 4:11–16, why do we have prophets and apostles?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>22</span>How have their teachings helped you not be “carried about with every wind of doctrine”?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>23</span>See also Acts 4:10–12.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>24</span>The Lord calls prophets and apostles to lead His Church.</p>

<div class='section'>我會鞏固與家人的關係。</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>25</span>As you read Ephesians 5:21–6:4, what thoughts come to you about how to strengthen your family relationships?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>26</span>It is important to note that Paul’s words in Ephesians 5:22 were written in the context of the social customs of his era.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>27</span>Prophets and apostles today teach that men are not superior to women and that spouses should be “equal partners”.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>28</span>(see “The Family: A Proclamation to the World,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2017, 145)</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>29</span>Even so, you can still find relevant counsel in Ephesians 5:23–33, especially if you are married or preparing for marriage.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>30</span>For example, how does Christ show His love for the Saints?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>31</span>What does this imply about how husbands should treat their wives?</p>

<div class='section'>Putting on “the whole armour of God” will help protect me from evil.</div>
<div class='section'>穿戴「神所賜的全副軍裝」會保護我避開邪惡。</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>33</span>As you read Ephesians 6:10–18, consider why Paul might have named each piece of armor the way he did.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>34</span>What will the “whole armour of God” protect us from?</p>

<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>37</span>As you read the scriptures with your family, the Spirit can help you know what principles to emphasize and discuss in order to meet the needs of your family.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>38</span>Here are some suggestions:</p>
<div class='section'>Ephesians 1:10</div>
<div class='section'>以弗所書1：10</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>39</span>Through the latter-day Restoration, God is gathering all things in one, including all the principles and ordinances of the gospel.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>40</span>To demonstrate this idea, you could hide objects or written phrases around your home that represent things that have been restored in our day.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>41</span>(like priesthood keys, temple ordinances, scriptures, and spiritual gifts)</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>42</span>Family members could search for them and “gather” them together.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>43</span>Why are we thankful to live in the “dispensation of the fulness of times”?</p>
<div class='section'>Ephesians 2:4–10; 3:14–21</div>
<div class='section'>以弗所書2：4-10；3：14-21</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>44</span>Invite family members to share experiences in which they have felt the love and mercy of God and Jesus Christ described in these verses.</p>
<div class='section'>Ephesians 2:12–19</div>
<div class='section'>以弗所書2：12-19</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>45</span>Your family might enjoy building walls out of pillows or other objects you have at home and then knocking them down.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>46</span>What kinds of walls separate people today?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>47</span>How has Jesus Christ “broken down the … wall of partition between us” and God?</p>
<div class='section'>Ephesians 6:10–18</div>
<div class='section'>以弗所書6：10-18</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>48</span>Your family could make their own “armour of God” using household items.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>49</span>The video “The Armour of God” (LDS.org) can help family members visualize this armor, and they can find simple explanations in “The Whole Armor of God” (Friend, June 2016, 24–25).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>50</span>How does each piece of armor protect us spiritually?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>51</span>What can we do to help each other “put on the whole armour of God” (Ephesians 6:11) every day?</p>
