에베소서 1:5-9 KRV

The Pulpit Commentary - Ephesians 1:7

Redemption. I. WHAT IT MEANS TO US . "Our redemption" is here in apposition with "the forgiveness of our trespasses." The phrases mutually explain one another. 1. The idea of forgiveness explains that of redemption . 2. The idea of redemption explains that of forgiveness . Such forgiveness as amounts to a redemption cannot be a mere withholding of penalties. It must be II. WHAT IT COST CHRIST . Redemption implies payment. The redeemed is recovered by... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ephesians 1:7-14

The forgiveness and inspiration of the adopted children. From the electing and adopting love of God, Paul proceeds next to show how it manifests itself in the thorough culture of the adopted children. We saw how they are accepted into the charmed circle for the Beloved's sake, and to him, indeed, owe all. We are now to notice how thorough is the provision made for the upbringing of these adopted ones. And— I. THROUGH THE BLOOD OF THE BELOVED THEY ARE REDEEMED AND ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ephesians 1:7-14

The redemptive predestination of God in its subjective and objective aspects. "In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: that in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ephesians 1:8

Which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence . This rendering of the R.V. is better than the A.V., "wherein he hath abounded," for ἧς before ἐπερίσσευσεν can hardly be put for the dative; it is genitive by attraction for the accusative. The wisdom and prudence refer to God; he has not made his grace abound to us in a random manner, but in a carefully regulated manner. This is more fully explained afterwards, in reference to God's concealment for a time of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ephesians 1:9

Having made known unto us the mystery of his will . The wide extent of God's grace was a mystery , i.e. a hidden counsel, before Christ came and died, but it is now made known. In this, and not in the modern sense of mystery, the word μυστήριον is used by Paul. The thing hidden and now revealed was not the gospel, but God's purpose with reference to its limits or sphere (see Ephesians 3:6 ). According to his good pleasure which he purposed in himself. The whole phraseology denotes... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ephesians 1:9

The revelation of the mystery. It was the high distinction of the Apostle Paul that to him, and not to any one of the twelve apostles, was committed the revelation of a great mystery. Ten times is this mystery named in his Epistles. It is called significantly "his gospel;" for which he was, indeed, an ambassador in bonds; but a gospel even more gloriously practical than it was speculative in its tendency and character. It was a revealed secret, "hid from generations"—indeed, hid "from the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ephesians 1:5

Having predestinated us - On the meaning of the word here used, see the notes at Romans 1:4; Romans 8:29, note. The word used πρωρίζω prōrizō means properly “to set bounds before;” and then to “pre-determine.” There is the essential idea of setting bounds or limits, and of doing this beforehand. It is not that God determined to do it when it was actually done, but that he intended to do it beforehand. No language could express this more clearly, and I suppose this interpretation is generally... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ephesians 1:6

To the praise of the glory of his grace - This is a Hebraism, and means the same as “to his glorious grace.” The object was to excite thanksgiving for his glorious grace manifested in electing love. The real tendency of the doctrine in minds that are properly affected, is not to excite opposition to God, or to lead to the charge of partiality, tyranny, or severity; it is to excite thankfulness and praise. In accordance with this, Paul introduced the statement Ephesians 1:3 by saying that God... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ephesians 1:7

In whom we have redemption - On the meaning of the word here rendered “redemption” - (ἀπολύτρωσις apolutrōsis) - see the notes at Romans 3:24. The word here, as there, denotes that deliverance from sin and from the evil consequences of sin, which has been procured by the atonement made by the Lord Jesus Christ. This verse is one of the passages which prove conclusively that the apostle here does not refer to “nations” and to “national privileges.” Of what “nation” could it be said that it... read more

Wherein he hath abounded - Which he has liberally manifested to us This grace has not been stinted and confined, but has been liberal and abundant.In all wisdom - That is, he has evinced great wisdom in the plan of salvation; wisdom in so saving people as to secure the honor of his own law, and in devising a scheme that was eminently adapted to save people; see the notes at 1 Corinthians 1:24.And prudence - The word used here (φρονήσις phronēsis) means understanding, thinking, prudence.
