Ephesians Study Notes—Chapter 2

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 2:10
  
  We are God’s handiwork: Or “We are a product of His work.” God brought forth spirit-anointed Christians as “a new creation” in union with Christ Jesus. (See study notes on 2Co 5:17; Ga 6:15.) The Greek word here rendered “handiwork” is used of the physical creation at Ro 1:20, where it is translated “the things made.” The expression may convey the idea of the work of a skilled craftsman.
