Ephesians 5:30For we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones.Membership in Christ’s bodyI. The nature of membership with the body of Christ.1. Members of the Church of Christ are such nominally and professedly. The Church is a visible organization--“a city set on a hill, which cannot be hid”--“the light of the world,” which must shine wherever it exists. Membership in Christ’s body supposes that we have been baptized, and are in the habit of receiving holy communion; also that... read more

Ephesians 5:32This is a great mystery.The mysteriousness of religionIt is in a discourse upon marriage that the apostle introduces these remarkable words; but it is unnecessary that we connect them with the original context; they may be detached from it and treated by themselves as containing a great and interesting truth. Just observe. The Apostle Paul is brought to acknowledge that something which he had just been announcing was very mysterious; he does not attempt to deny or explain away the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ephesians 5:25

25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Ver. 25. Husbands, love your wives ] He saith not, rule over them (in answer to submit, Eph 5:22 ), for this they can readily do without bidding; but love your wives, and so make their yoke as easy as may be. Columbae trahunt currum Veneris. Doves draw the charriot of Venus. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ephesians 5:26

26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, Ver. 26. That he might sanctify ] The maids were first purified and perfumed before Ahasuerus chose one. But here it is otherwise. Sanctification is a fruit of justification. The Lord will not have a sluttish Church, and therefore he came not by blood only, but by water also, that clean water of his Spirit, whereby he washeth away the swinish nature of his saints, so that they desire no more to wallow in the mire. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ephesians 5:27

27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Ver. 27. That he might present ] As Isaac did his Rebecca, adorned with his jewels. See Ezekiel 16:14 . Tales nos amat Deus, quales futuri sumus ipsius done, non quales sumus nostro merito, saith an ancient Council. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ephesians 5:28

28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. Ver. 28. As their own bodies ] No man may hide himself from his own flesh at large, Isaiah 58:7 , that is, from his neighbour of the same stock; much less from a wife, which is such another as himself, Genesis 2:18 , nay, his very self, as here. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ephesians 5:29

29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: Ver. 29. For no man ever hated ] No man but a monk, who whips himself, or a mad man, Mark 5:5 , who cuts himself. It was the saying of the Emperor Aurelius, a wife is to be often admonished, sometimes reproved, but never beaten. And yet of the Russian women it is reported, that they love that husband best that beats them most, and that they think themselves else not regarded, unless two... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ephesians 5:30

30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. Ver. 30. Of his flesh, and of his bones ] While he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit, 1 Corinthians 6:17 . This union is neither natural, nor corporal, nor political, nor personal, but mystical and spiritual; and yet it is no less true and real than that of God the Father and God the Son,John 17:21-22; John 17:21-22 . For as the Holy Ghost did unite in the Virgin’s womb the Divine and human natures of Christ, and made... read more
