エペソ人への手紙 4:30 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Ephesians 4:25-32

The abjured and the enjoined in Christian life. "Wherefore," etc. In the preceding verses, as we have seen, under the head of The true method of studying Christianity , the apostle exhorted the Ephesians "to put off the old man and to put on the new man." He here proceeds to particularize and urge this the great practical work of Christianity. He abjures the elements of the old man and enjoins the elements of the new. Our subject is the abjured and the enjoined in the Christian... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ephesians 4:30

And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God. Very solemn and emphatic counsel. The name is given with unusual fullness, in order to show the magnitude of the sin— τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον τοῦ θεοῦ , "The Spirit, the Holy Spirit of God." By an anthropopathy the Spirit is represented as grieved by such treatment as would grieve us—e . g . when his work is obstructed, when sin is trifled with, when Deity is treated carelessly, when place is given to the devil, when the spirit of the world is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ephesians 4:30

Sin and ingratitude of grieving the Spirit of God. The apostle, as if to show the serious consequence of corrupt speech in a Christian, says, "Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God." That would be a most deplorable result. I. CONSIDER WHAT IS IMPLIED IS THIS ACT . 1. It implies the holy personality of the Third Person of the Trinity . He is a Person as much as the Father and the Son? 2. It implies that the Holy Spirit is already a Dweller in the hearts of those... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ephesians 4:30

Grieving the Holy Spirit of God. I. WHAT IT IS TO GRIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD . We are startled at the expression. Few of us would have thought of using it if we had not found it in the Bible. It cannot be a mere figure of speech. It must describe a strange, sad, touching fact. 1. God is a living Spirit . He can be grieved. 2. God is our Father , related to us, loving us. It is of the self-sacrificing nature of love that it lays itself out to be... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ephesians 4:30

And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God - This is addressed to Christians, and it proves that it is possible for them to grieve the Holy Spirit. The word used here - λυπεῖτε lupeite - means properly to afflict with sorrow; to make sad or sorrowful. It is rendered to make sorry, or sorrowful, Matthew 14:9; Matthew 17:23; Matthew 18:31; Matthew 19:22; Matthew 26:22, Matthew 26:37; Mark 14:19; Joh 16:20; 2 Corinthians 2:2; 2Co 6:10; 2 Corinthians 7:8-9, 2 Corinthians 7:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13.

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ephesians 4:29-30

Ephesians 4:29-30. Let no corrupt communication Or discourse, dictated by corruption in the heart of the speaker, and tending to corrupt the minds or manners of hearers; proceed out of your mouth At any time, or on any occasion. The original expression, λογος σαπρος , is literally, rotten or putrid speech; that is, speech offensive to the hearers, or calculated to infect them with sin; and is in direct opposition to that which is seasoned with salt, and is recommended ( Col 4:6 ) as... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ephesians 4:17-32

The old and the new standards (4:17-32)Although believers have entered a new life through Christ, they still live in a society that does not know God and whose moral outlook is darkened by its ungodliness. The less Christian influence there is in the society, the lower the moral standards are. Christians, however, should not behave according to the commonly accepted practices of society. People without God, through repeatedly ignoring the warnings of conscience, can easily lose those feelings... read more

And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in whom ye were sealed unto the day of redemption.Ye were sealed ... See under Ephesians 1:13 for more extended remarks on this, also in my Commentary on Romans, Romans 3:23f.Grieve not the Holy Spirit ... Any of the sins Paul was forbidding in these verses would, of course, grieve the Holy Spirit in the heart of any Christian committing them; but the thought here seems especially directed against filthy conversation.In addition to "grieving" the Holy... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ephesians 4:30

Ephesians 4:30. Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed.— The original is emphatical, Grieve not that Holy Spirit of God;—whereby ye are sealed; that is to say, "As all the things, against which I have been cautioning you, are directly contrary to the holy nature, will, and operations, gifts and graces of the good Spirit of God; and as he, speaking after the manner of men, is grieved at them, as a friend uses to be at the disagreeable and ungrateful behaviour of one with whom... read more
