Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ephesians 6:23-24

(23) Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. (24) Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen. Written from Rome unto the Ephesians by Tychicus. How sweetly Paul begins, and ends his Epistles. So, methinks, should every child of God, when writing to a brother in Christ! It is blessed, it is gracious, when, from Christ's love in the heart, we send forth love to all Christ's little ones. It is a prayer founded in... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ephesians 6:24

REFLECTIONS HERE let us pause over the close of this Epistle, and, as we look back, and review the wonderful contents of it, may both the Writer and Reader of this Poor Man's Commentary, bow down before the throne of a Covenant, God in Christ, for so rich a portion of divine revelation of Jehovah's love to the Church ! Oh! God the Spirit grant to us, if it be thy blessed will, a spirit of wisdom and revelation, in the apprehension of those divine truths, and that they may be the engrafted word... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ephesians 6:19-24

19-24 The gospel was a mystery till made known by Divine revelation; and it is the work of Christ's ministers to declare it. The best and most eminent ministers need the prayers of believers. Those particularly should be prayed for, who are exposed to great hardships and perils in their work. Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith. By peace, understand all manner of peace; peace with God, peace of conscience, peace among themselves. And the grace of the Spirit, producing faith and love,... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Ephesians 6:1-99

Ephesians 6 WE PASS FROM the relationship of husband and wife to those of children and fathers, servants and masters, as we open chapter 6. Obedience is to mark the child, and careful nurture and admonition the father. But all is to be as under the Lord, as indicated in verses Eph_6:1 and 4. This sets everything on a very high level. So also it is with the servant and the master. Their relations are to be regulated as before the Lord, as verses Eph_6:7 , Eph_6:8 and 9 show. All these... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ephesians 6:21-24

Concluding Remarks and Greeting. v. 21. But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things, v. 22. whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts. v. 23.

Johann Peter Lange

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ephesians 6:23-24

2. Twofold salutation to the Church(Ephesians 6:23-24)23Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord 24Jesus Christ. Grace be with all them that [those who] love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity [incorruption]. Amen, [omit Amen.]65EXEGETICAL AND CRITICALThe form of the greeting is altogether unusual; the third person, not the second, is used in spite of the direct address (Ephesians 6:21-22); instead of ὑμῖν we find in Ephesians 6:23 : τοῖς ἁδελφοῖς, in the... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Ephesians 6:24

EPHESIANS THE WIDE RANGE OF GOD’S GRACE Eph_6:24 In turning to the great words which I have read as a text, I ask you to mark their width and their simplicity. They are wide; they follow a very comprehensive benediction, with which, so to speak, they are concentric. But they sweep a wider circle. The former verse says, ‘Peace be to the brethren.’ But beyond the brethren in these Asiatic churches as a kind of circular letter to whom this epistle was probably sent there rises before the mind... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Ephesians 6:13-24

“Finally, Be Strong in the Lord” Ephesians 6:13-24 Many would be strong, but fail because they forget that they can be effectively so only “in the Lord, and in the strength of His might.” Paul had a very vivid conception of the powerful forces that are arrayed against the Church. He is not dealing here especially with our personal temptations, but with those hosts of wicked spirits that lie behind the evil of the world. It is probable that the vast systems which oppose the gospel-the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ephesians 6:1-24

The teaching now turned to the next relationship of importance in the Christian household-the relationship of parents and children. Children are to yield obedience, and thus be set free from all care and anxiety. When the period of childhood passes, obligation does not cease. They are still to honor father and mother. The responsibility of parents is referred to only with regard to the father. Thus the apostle emphasized that the chief responsibility for training a child should rest with the... read more
