Efesios 5:6-21 NVI

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ephesians 5:16

16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Ver. 16. Redeeming the time ] As wise merchants, trading for the most precious commodity, and taking their best opportunity. The common complaint is, We lack time; but the truth is, we do not so much lack it as waste it. Non parum habemus temporis, sed multum perdimus. (Sen.) The men of Issachar were in great account with David, because they had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, 1 Chronicles 12:32 . So are they in... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ephesians 5:17

17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is . Ver. 17. But understanding what ] Drawing your knowledge into practice, asEphesians 5:10; Ephesians 5:10 . For "the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding,"Job 28:28; Job 28:28 : where wisdom (proper to the understanding) is ascribed to the will, because practice should be joined to knowledge. Hence also, Ecclesiastes 10:2 ; "A wise man’s heart is at his right hand," because... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ephesians 5:18

18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Ver. 18. And be not drunk with wine ] Nothing so opposite to an accurate life as drunkenness; which therefore is not specially prohibited in any one of the Ten Commandments (saith a divine) because it is not the single breach of any one, but in effect the violation of all and every one; it is no one, but all sins, the inlet and sluice to all other sins, and by them to the devil. Behemoth lieth in the fens, Job... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ephesians 5:19

19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Ver. 19. Speaking to yourselves, &c. ] As drunkards sing and halloo over their cups in their goodfellow meetings; so in a sober sense, do you express your spiritual jollity in psalms, &c. Melody in your hearts unto the Lord ] This is the best tune to any psalm. Spiritual songs they are called, both because they are indited by the Spirit, and because they... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ephesians 5:20

20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Ver. 20. Giving thanks always ] In our deepest miseries let us sing cheerfully, as Paul and Silas in the dungeon, as Philpot and his fellows in the coal house, as many martyrs in the flames, as Luther did in a great conflict with the devil: Venite, said he to his company, in contemptum diaboli Psalmum de profundis quatuor vocibus cantemus: Let us sing the 130th Psalm in despite of the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ephesians 5:21

21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Ver. 21. Submitting yourselves ] This is a general admonition to all inferiors, whose duties are afterwards described. Thus in the second table of the law, the fifth commandment for order and obedience is fitly premised to the following precepts. In the fear of God ] This frameth the heart to a ready and regular submission. Hence that saying of Luther, Primo praecepto reliquorum omnium observantia praecipitur, The first... read more
