A letter in the New Testament, also known as the Epistle to the Ephesians. It is an encyclical letter addressed to the churches of Asia Minor, centered around Ephesus, and is estimated to have been written around 60 AD. Its content and vocabulary, including Christology and ethical admonitions, are very similar to those of the Epistle to the Colossians, and the Epistle to the Ephesians is thought to have been developed from it. The vocabulary and solemnity of this letter, which are not found in Paul's writings, have raised questions about its author, and there is a theory that it was written by a disciple of Paul in Asia Minor around 90 AD, based on the Epistle to the Colossians and other works. The contents are divided into a doctrinal section (chapters 1-3) and an ethical section (chapters 4-6), and the overall theme is that God "gathers together in one all things in Christ" (1:10).

新約聖書中の一書簡で,『エペソ書』ともいう。エフェソスを中心とした小アジア諸教会あての回状で,その時期はほぼ 60年頃であった,と推定されている。キリスト論,倫理的勧告など,内容や語彙などが『コロサイ人への手紙』とよく似ており,『エペソ人への手紙』はそれを発展させたものと考えられる。この手紙にはパウロにはみられない語彙や荘重さがあるところから,著者の問題が生じ,彼の弟子が『コロサイ人への手紙』などをもとに,90年頃に小アジアで書いたという説もある。その内容は教理的部分 (1~3章) と倫理的部分 (4~6章) に分れ,神がすべてのものを「キリストにおいて一つに帰せしめる」 (1・10) ことが全体の基調となっている。
