Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ephesians 2:7-10

Chapter 8SAVED FOR AN ENDEphesians 2:7-10The plan which God has formed for men in Christ is of great dimensions every way, -in its length no less than in its breadth and height. He "raised us up and seated us together (Gentiles with Jews) in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages which are coming on He might show the surpassing riches of His grace." All the races of mankind and all future ages are embraced in the redeeming purpose and are to share in its boundless wealth. Nor are... read more

Chapter 9THE FAR AND NEAREphesians 2:11-13The apostle’s "Wherefore" sums up for his readers the record of their salvation rehearsed in the previous verses. "You were buried in your sins, sunk in their corruption, ruined by their guilt, living under God’s displeasure and in the power of Satan. All this has passed away. The almighty Hand has raised you with Christ into a heavenly life. God has become your Father; His love is in your heart; by the strength of His grace you are enabled to walk in... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ephesians 2:14-18

Chapter 10THE DOUBLE RECONCILIATIONEphesians 2:14-18"PEACE, peace-to the far off, and to the near!" Such was God’s promise to His scattered people in the times of the exile. {Isaiah 57:19} St. Paul sees that peace of God extending over a yet wider field, and terminating a longer and sadder banishment than the prophet had foreseen. Christ is "our peace"-not for the divided members of Israel alone, but for all the tribes of men. He brings about a universal pacification.There were two distinct,... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ephesians 2:19-22

Chapter 11GOD’S TEMPLE IN HUMANITYEphesians 2:19-22Now unfrequently it is the last word or phrase of the paragraph that gives us the clue to St. Paul’s meaning and discloses the point at which he has aimed all along. So in this instance. "For a habitation of God in the Spirit": behold the goal of God’s ways with mankind! For this end the Divine grace has wrought through countless ages and has made its great sacrifice. For this end Jew and Gentile are being gathered into one and compacted into a... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Ephesians 2:1

2:1 And {1} you [hath he quickened], who were {a} dead in {2} trespasses and sins;(1) He declares again the greatness of God’s good will by comparing that miserable state in which we are born, with that dignity unto which we are advanced by God the Father in Christ. So he describes that condition in such a way that he says, that with regard to spiritual motions we are not only born half dead, but wholly and altogether dead.(a) See Romans 6:2 . So then he calls those dead who are not... read more

2:2 {3} Wherein in time past ye walked {4} according to the course of this world, {b} according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now {5} worketh in the {c} children of disobedience:(3) He proves by the effects that all were spiritually dead.(4) He proves this evil to be universal, insomuch that all are slaves of Satan.(b) At the pleasure of the prince.(5) Men are therefore slaves to Satan, because they are willingly rebellious against God.(c) They are called the children... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Ephesians 2:3

2:3 {6} Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our {d} flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and {7} were by nature the {e} children of wrath, even as {f} others.(6) After he has separately condemned the Gentiles, he confesses that the Jews (among whom he numbers himself) are not the least bit better.(d) By the name of flesh in the first place, he means the whole man, which he divides into two parts: into the flesh, which is the part that... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Ephesians 2:4

2:4 {8} But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,(8) Now from this follows another member of the comparison declaring our excellency, that is, that by the power of Christ we are delivered from that death, and made partakers of eternal life, to the end that at length we may reign with him. And by various and different means he emphasises this, that the efficient cause of this benefit is the free mercy of God: and Christ himself is the material cause: and faith is... read more
