In our book entitled The Testimony of the Lord's Prisoner, the literary

structure of Ephesians is preceded by a diagram in the form of a pair of

balances, wherein is poised on the word `worthy' (Eph. 4:1) the sevenfold

doctrinal portion (Eph. 1:3 to 3:13) in correspondence with the sevenfold

practical section (Eph. 4:1 to 6:20).  The doctrinal portion is assessed in the

language of chapter 2:6 `seated together', while the practical section is summed

up under the words of chapter 4:15 `growing up unto Christ'.

This balance of subject matter we have also set out in the form of a fruit

tree* having seven branches on either side, and bearing three fruits on each

branch (for each branch, the fruits: (a), (b), and (c), are exhibited on page

7).  The tree is seen to be `rooted and grounded in love', and is culminated by

the prayer that leads on to `all the fulness of God' (see overleaf).
