以弗所书 5:3-4 CUNPSS

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ephesians 5:4

Neither filthiness - That is, obscene, or indecent conversation. Literally, that which is shameful, or deformed - αἰσχρότης aischrotēs. The word does not elsewhere occur in the New Testament.Nor foolish talking - This word - μωρολογία mōrologia - does not occur elsewhere in the New Testament. It means that kind of talk which is insipid, senseless, stupid, foolish; which is not suited to instruct, edify, profit - the idle “chitchat” which is so common in the world. The meaning is, that... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ephesians 5:3-4

Ephesians 5:3-4. But fornication, &c. But any impure love, and any vice flowing therefrom, or connected therewith; let it not be once named Or heard of; among you Except with detestation. Keep at the utmost distance from it; as becometh saints Who are conscious of the sanctity of your name and profession, and dread the thoughts of debasing it; for certainly it is reasonable and proper that they who are separated from the world, and dedicated to God, should shun all such mention of... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ephesians 5:1-20

More about the new standards (5:1-20)Just as children follow the example of their parents, so Christians must follow the example of their heavenly Father. Their love, then, will not be mere words, but will show itself by self-sacrifice, just as Christ’s love did (5:1-2).Converted pagans had a special problem in that many of the sinful practices they once engaged in were still widespread in the society in which they lived. One way to overcome the temptation to such practices was not even to... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Ephesians 5:3

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints; nor filthiness, nor foolish talking or jesting, which are not befitting; but rather giving of thanks.This is another of Paul's catalogues of vice, none of them, not even all of them together being any complete list of sins, but merely typical. Other lists are in Romans 1:29ff, 1 Corinthians 5:11ff, 6:9ff, Galatians 5:19ff and Colossians 3:5ff. Fornication is prominently mentioned in... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ephesians 5:3

Ephesians 5:3. And all uncleanness or covetousness,— Or, any kind of uncleanness or insatiable desire. Insatiable desire is certainly a literal rendering of the Greek word πλεονεξια, which plainly signifies the desire of having more of any thing, whatever it be. And though the word is commonly used for covetousness, or an intemperate love of riches; yet it is here to be understood of the letting loose of the desires in a carnal way. The words in connection abundantly prove this to be the sense;... read more

Ephesians 5:4. Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, &c.— "Nor let there be among you anyshameful practices in secret, the very naming of which would put a modest person to the blush; nor any light, wanton, or obscene ways of talking, bantering, or joking, which are so far from innocent pleasantry, that they are not only unprofitable and vain, but very offensive to God, and insufferable to a chaste ear, and are too great an incentive to impure thoughts and actions: ye therefore ought to... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ephesians 5:3

3. once named—Greek, "Let it not be even named" (Ephesians 5:4; Ephesians 5:12). "Uncleanness" and "covetousness" are taken up again from Ephesians 5:12- :. The two are so closely allied that the Greek for "covetousness" (pleonexia) is used sometimes in Scripture, and often in the Greek Fathers, for sins of impurity. The common principle is the longing to fill one's desire with material objects of sense, outside of God. The expression, "not be even named," applies better to impurity, than to... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ephesians 5:4

4. filthiness—obscenity in act or gesture. foolish talking—the talk of fools, which is folly and sin together. The Greek of it, and of "filthiness," occurs nowhere else in the New Testament. nor—rather, "or" (compare Ephesians 5:3). jesting—Greek, "eutrapelia"; found nowhere else in the New Testament: implying strictly that versatility which turns about and adapts itself, without regard to principle, to the shifting circumstances of the moment, and to the varying moods of those with whom it may... read more
