以弗所書 6:24 RCUVTS

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

As the apostle opened his epistle by referring to God’s grace, so he ended it (Ephesians 1:2). God’s grace was the key to the calling of the Christian and the creation of the church. It is also essential to the conduct of the Christian (cf. Ephesians 1:7; Ephesians 2:5; Ephesians 2:7-8; Ephesians 3:2; Ephesians 3:8; Ephesians 4:7). Paul wished God’s unmerited favor and divine enablement on all who love Jesus Christ purely, without wrong motives or secret disloyalties (cf. 1 Corinthians 16:22).... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ephesians 6:24

(24) Grace be with all them . . .—The salutation, “Grace be with you,” in various forms, is, as St. Paul himself says in 2 Thessalonians 3:17, “the token,” or characteristic signature, in every one of his Epistles, written with his own hand. It may be noted that it is not found in the Epistles of St. James, St. Peter, St. Jude and St. John, and that it is found in the Epistle to the Hebrews. Here, however, it is at once general and conditional, “to all them who love the Lord Jesus Christ.” So... read more

The Canon of Conduct Ephesians 6:1 I. The Standard of Christianity. 'Right' is a law of conduct not based on accident or convenience; it arises out of the depths of eternity, and is comprehended in the depths of our nature. Duty is sublime, founded on eternal relationships; conscience is the index of the Divine and supernatural; right differs essentially from might; justice and convenience are terms wide asunder by the breadth of the heavens; righteousness is the law of the unchanging... read more

7. The Conclusion CHAPTER 6:21-24 In the preceding verses the great apostle asked the prayers of the saints for himself Thereby he testified in a practical way to the great truth of the body of Christ, the church. The conclusions are brief. Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in Christ, would make known to them all things, and he was sent also by the loving apostle to comfort their hearts. What a marvelous document this epistle is! What a solid rock to stand upon! What... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Ephesians 6:1-24

PARENTS AND CHILDREN (vs.1-4) Children are next addressed. The instruction is simple and uncomplicated. They are to obey their parents in the Lord, that is, as subject to the Lord's authority. False educators today boldly undermine this parental authority, and it is leading to ruin, for it denies what is right before God. The relationship of children is typical of that of believers to God as their Father. If a believer should obey God, then a child should obey his parents. More still is... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ephesians 6:1-24

APPLICATION TO THE HOUSEHOLD In the last lesson Paul spoke of the Christian’s “walk” in general terms, but now applies the thought particularly to: wives and husbands (5:22-33); children and parents (Ephesians 6:1-4 ); and servants and masters (Ephesians 6:5-9 ), summing up the whole in Ephesians 6:10-18 . The epistle concludes with a brief reference to his personal affairs (Ephesians 6:19-22 ), and a benediction (Ephesians 6:23-24 ). Speaking of the application to the three classes of the... read more

The Gospel for Christmas Eph 6:24 [A Christmas Sermon] At Christmas time we are expected to be full of charity and goodwill. That is the very spirit of the season. It was in this strain that the angels sang when they were heard by the shepherds of Bethlehem. But even goodwill requires to be defined. Many people think it is all included in a hot family dinner on Christmas Day, concluded with the proverb How true it is that one half of the world does not know how the other half lives.
