In Nicholas King’s English translation of the New Testament (2004), the translator decided to use bullet point lists in some case in the Ephesians, Colossians, and Titus. “There are elaborate groups of nouns strung together, and the sentences are rather long. I have tried, not entirely successfully, to make these long sentences more manageable by the use of bullet points.” One such list is Ephesians 1:15-23:
Because of this, I too, having heard of the faith that is among you in the Lord Jesus, and the love for all the saints, do not cease from giving thanks, making remembrance of you in my prayers,
- that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ; the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in, the knowledge of him, the eyes of your heart enlightened so that you may know
- what is the hope of his calling,
- what is the wealth of the glory of his inheritance among the saints;
- and what is the overarching greatness of his power for us who believe according to the exercise of the might of his strength,
- which he exercised in Christ [by] raising him from the dead, and making him sit on his right hand in the heavenly regions, above all rule and authority and power orb n. and lordship, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in the coming age,
- and ‘he subordinated everything beneath his feet’, and gave him as head over the
- entire Church, which is his body; the fullness of that which fills everything in every respect.
