The first half (1-3) unfolds the mystery of salvation: chosen before the foundation of the world, saved by grace, united as Jews and Gentiles in one Body. The second half (4-6) addresses Christian living: unity in the Body, putting off the old self, relationships in the household (wives/husbands, children/parents, slaves/masters), and the famous passage on the Armor of God.
