ISB ~ Ephesians 1 v12 - 13

Here and elsewhere Paul alternates between we and you. Among the options, (1) “we” could refer to Jewish Christians (us, 2:14), and “you” to Gentile Christians (2:11); or (2) “we” might refer to Christians known by Paul, and “you” to those unacquainted with Paul personally (1:15; 3:2); or (3)“we” might refer to believers long since converted (1:12), and “you” to more recent converts. None of these possibilities is mutually exclusive of another, so it is quite possible the groups in question fall into more than one category.
