Ephesians 3:18
To comprehend 4 things: (1) The breadth, and (2) length, and (3) depth, and (4) height

Christ did 4 things: (1) Ascended up on high ("Now that he ascended" refers to "Ascended up on high"), (2) he led captivity captive, and (3) gave gifts unto men... (4) he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth
Ephesians 4:11
Gave 5 groups: (1) Apostles, (2) prophets, (3) evangelists, and (4) pastors and (5) teachers. Despite the grammar of the verse and the close relationship between the teaching ministry and pastoral ministry (as the teaching ministry is often an extension of the pastoral ministry), the groups "pastors" and "teachers" will be considered separate groups as there are those in the ministry who are gifted teachers but are not pastors. Additionally, 5 groups would be consistent with the concept of the "five-fold ministry" that comes from this verse.
Ephesians 4:11
"Apostles... prophets... evangelists... pastors and teachers" will be considered as both a WHO or WHAT
Ephesians 4:11-12
"For the work of the ministry" is WHY for "the perfecting of the saints"

However, "For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ" is collectively WHY "He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers."
Ephesians 4:12
"The ministry" will be considered a WHAT but not a WHOM
Ephesians 4:16
"According to the effectual working in the measure of every part" is HOW "the whole body... maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love." The verse is understood as: From whom (Christ) the whole body [, which is] fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth [,] maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love according to the effectual working in the measure of every part
Ephesians 4:16
"The [whole] body" will be considered as both a WHO and WHAT
Ephesians 4:17-20
"So" refers to "other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness." With that being said, the components referred to in verses 17, 18, and 19 can be referred to individually, which means that "So" from verse 20 may refer to content only from verses 17, 18, or 19 and not all three verses at once.

Ephesians 4:32
1 instruction: Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you

Ephesians 5:29-31
"For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

Ephesians 5:31-32
"This is a great mystery" refers to "For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh."

3 possibilities: (1) That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, (2) being fruitful in every good work, (3) and increasing in the knowledge of God

Colossians 2:22-23
"Which things" refers to "the commandments and doctrines of men."

"On the right hand of God" will be considered a WHERE despite being understood as a symbolic phrase meaning that Christ possesses all the power and authority of God (as opposed to a physical second "person" of the Godhead sat next to God)
Colossians 3:5
"Mortify" means to kill in this context. The practical application is to deny the sinful / earthly ("upon the earth") nature in you.

Philemon 1:19

"For kings, and for all that are in authority" are an extension of "for all men." As a result, these are not considered a 2nd and 3rd group.

Verses 8-10 will be considered what Paul desires. Verse 11 will be considered the beginning of Paul's next thought (a new and separate instruction).
1 Timothy 2:15
"She" will refer to both "Eve" and "women" in general. Given the context of the prior verses, it appears Paul is expounding on both Eve's role and the woman's role in general (see Genesis 3:15).

1 Timothy 5:14
"Children" will be considered as either a WHAT or WHOM and "the house" will be considered as either a WHAT or WHOM
1 Timothy 5:16
Gives two instructions: (1) If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them and (2) let not the church be charged
1 Timothy 5:18
The scripture saith two things: (1) "Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn" (see Deuteronomy 25:4) (2) "The labourer is worthy of his reward" (see Luke 10:7). Interestingly, Paul notes both an Old Testament verse and a quote from Jesus in the New Testament as scripture.
Please note that the word "and" is not part of what the scripture saith.
1 Timothy 5:19-21
"These things" refers to 1 Timothy 5:19-20.

Note that "which drown men in destruction and perdition" refers to just "foolish and hurtful lusts"
1 Timothy 6:10
"Which" will refer to "the love of money" as "the love of money" refers more to the greediness and unhealthy wanting of more money and not simply wanting money (which is not bad if desired for good reasons such as to be a cheerful giver).
1 Timothy 6:11
"These things" refers to Paul's instructions in 1 Timothy 6:3-5 and 1 Timothy 6:9-10. In general, "these things" also refers to Paul's instructions in 1 Timothy 6:6-8, but those instructions refer to being content and are not things to flee from
1 Timothy 6:12
"Whereunto thou are also called" refers to "eternal life"
"A good profession" will be considered WHAT Timothy has professed as opposed to HOW he professed even though the understanding of the verse is that Timothy is professing faith and is profession of faith is good ("hast professed (faith very well) before many witnesses")
