Just read an awesome bit in John Stott's commentary on Ephesians that says that in the original Greek language, verses 3-14 were one long rambling sentence. "As Paul dictates, his speech pours out of his mouth in a continuous cascade. He neither pauses for breath, nor punctuates his words with full stops. Commentators have searched for metaphors vivid enough to convey the impact of this opening outburst of adoration." (John Stott 'The Message of Ephesians' p. 32) I love the idea of Paul getting so excited in reflecting on all that Christ has done for us...that's what tends to happen isn't it? Plenty of reasons to get excited...
