The book of Ephesians was written by Paul in a prison in Rome in 61AD [''The Untold Story of the New Testament Church'' by Frank Viola].
Tradition holds that the Epistle to the Ephesians was written by Paul from Rome, while in prison, but Burton L. Mack (Who Wrote the New Testament) says that Paul's Letter to the Ephesians is not authentic. He says there is not a suggestion of the personal Paul in it - the style and vocabulary are both different, and even the rhetoric is entirely different. Many passages in Ephesians even seem to be directly copied from Colossians, which is also widely acknowledged to be pseudonomous. Paul could hardly have written this epistle, which belongs to late in the first century CE.
Colossians, Philemon, Ephesians, and Philippians were written while Paul was imprisoned.
Ephesians 1:3-14.
In Ephesians 6:18-25, the Apostle Paul concludes his letter by urging believers to pray in the Spirit on all occasions, emphasizing the importance of vigilance and perseverance in prayer for all the saints. He requests prayers for himself, that he may boldly proclaim the gospel despite his imprisonment. The passage also includes a final greeting and encouragement from Paul, highlighting Tychicus as a messenger who will inform the recipients about his circumstances and provide comfort. Ultimately, Paul emphasizes grace and love as essential components of the Christian faith.
Paul uses the phrase "put on" twice in the book of Ephesians. Here are the two verses from Ephesians in which this phrase is found: Ephesians 4:24 "And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness."Ephesians 6:11 "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." Paul also uses this phrase 9 more times in other books of the Bible: once in Romans (twice if you count "put ye on"), four times in two verses in 1 Corinthians, once in Galatians, and three times in Colossians.
In Ephesians 2:11-22, Paul used imagery such as walls of hostility being broken down, the building of believers as a temple for God, and the idea of Gentiles being brought near to God through Christ's sacrifice. These visual metaphors emphasize the unity and reconciliation that believers experience through Christ.
There are six chapters in Ephesians. It was a letter written by Paul.
The phrase "put on the whole armor of God" comes from the Bible, specifically Ephesians 6:11. This verse is part of a passage that encourages believers to be strong in their faith and to be prepared for spiritual battle.
The Epistle to the Ephesians was not actually written to the Ephesians, but was an encyclical to the Church as a whole. In contrast to Paul's own use of the term church ( ekklesia, congregation), which he used only to refer to a local congregation, the author of Ephesians used the term in the singular to refer to the universal Church, and the opening address to the Ephesians is probably a late addition. Ephesians is supposedly addressed to a community of only Gentile Christians, but scholars doubts whether such a community yet existed in Pauline times.The Epistle to the Ephesians copied much material from the pseudo-Pauline letter to the Colossians, which was in turn written sometime during the 70s, and was intended to address a sectarian conflict that had arisen in Asia Minor.

Ephesians 6:12 speaks of the fight which is not against human foes, but against the "cosmic powers, authorities and potentates of this dark world, the superhuman forces of evil in the heavens." These archons were even thought of as having political organisations like rulers on earth.However, this statement must not be thought of as coming from the apostle Paul. Most scholars say that the Epistle to the Ephesians was written in Paul's name some time between 80 and 95 CE. One clear piece of evidence to support this is that many passages in Ephesians seem to be directly copied from the Epistle to the Colossians, itself a late pseudepigraphical work attributed to Paul.
