エペソ人への手紙 6:24 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Ephesians 6:23-24

Double apostolic blessing. The apostle ends the Epistle by a blessing addressed first to the brethren at Ephesus, and secondly to all true lovers of the Lord Jesus Christ. I. BLESSING TO THE BROTHERHOOD . 1. Peace . This is not mere concord—"the peace to which they were called in one body,"—but everything that is implied in the favor of God, repose of spirit under the sprinklings of the blood of Christ, a continuous flow of spiritual blessings. 2. Love with faith . ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ephesians 6:24

Grace he with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruptibility. As grace was the first word, so it is the last (comp. Ephesians 1:2 ), not as denoting anything essentially different from the blessings invoked in the preceding verse, but for variety, and in order that the favorite word may be, both here and before, in the place of prominence. The expression is peculiar—love the Lord Jesus Christ ἐν ἀκαθαρσίᾳ . The word denotes, especially in Paul's usage, what is unfading... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ephesians 6:24

The notes of a true Christian. This benediction differs from the benedictions with which all other Epistles of St. Paul close in one respect, viz, while on every other occasion the second person is used, here the blessing is described in the third person. Elsewhere we read, "Grace be to you," etc. Here and here only we read, "Grace be with all them," etc. This variation is in keeping with the catholic character of tire whole Epistle, which is much concerned with the unity of the Church. It... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ephesians 6:24

Grace be, ... - note, Romans 16:20.That love our Lord Jesus Christ - see the notes on 1 Corinthians 16:22.In sincerity - Margin, “with incorruption.” With a pure heart; without dissembling; without hypocrisy. There could not be a more appropriate close of the Epistle than such a wish; there will be nothing more needful for us when we come to the close of life than the consciousness that we love the Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. To writer and reader may this be equally the inestimable... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ephesians 6:10-24

The Christian’s warfare (6:10-24)For Christians, life involves warfare, though the battle is not with earthy forces but with spiritual. They are involved in a struggle against hostile demonic powers who have rebelled against God and oppose his people. As ancient soldiers wore armour when they fought their battles, so Christians must prepare themselves for conflict. They receive their armour, as well as their strength, from God, but they themselves must fight the battle. Above all they must make... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ephesians 6:24

Ephesians 6:24. In sincerity.— The Greek word signifies in incorruption, αφθαρσια . Mr. Locke explains the wordof such a love as would prevent men's mixing any thing with the gospel which was not genuine, and might render it ineffectual. Comp. Galatians 2:4. But it seems rather to express that uprightness of heart which is opposed to the putting on false presences, and may, with great propriety, be understood as a general description of a true Christian: and indeed it is manifest, that wherever... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ephesians 6:24

24. Contrast the malediction on all who love Him not (1 Corinthians 16:22). in sincerity—Greek, "in incorruption," that is, not as English Version, but "with an immortal (constant) love" [WAHL]. Compare "that which is not corruptible" (1 Corinthians 16:22- :). Not a fleeting, earthly love, but a spiritual and eternal one [ALFORD]. Contrast 1 Corinthians 16:22- :, worldly things "which perish with the using." Compare 1 Corinthians 9:25, "corruptible . . . incorruptible crown." "Purely," "holily"... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ephesians 6:21-24

IV. CONCLUSION 6:21-24Paul’s anticipation of his defense before Nero brought him back to the present in his thinking. His exposition of the mystery of the church to his readers had ended. He had also explained their proper conduct in view of their calling. All that remained was to share with them some personal information and to pray God’s blessing on them. read more
