ephesians-4:16-18

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Ephesians 4:1-99

Ephesians 4 As we open chapter 4 we pick up the thread which Paul dropped at the end of the first verse of chapter 3. In comparatively few words we have had brought before us the Christian calling in its height and fulness according to the thoughts and purposes of God. Moreover that calling has been unfolded to us, not only as it relates to us each individually, but also as it concerns us all together in our corporate or church capacity. Now comes the exhortation of a general character, and it... read more

An admonition to spiritual renewal: v. 17.

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Ephesians 4:11-19

Building up the “Body of Christ” Ephesians 4:11-19 Apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, are the gifts of the risen Christ to His Church. There should be no rivalry among them. Each has his own work to do, as each wheel in a watch has its special function. None can do the work of another, and none should try to do it. The Apostles laid the foundations of the City of God, and the work of each is represented by a different stone. The pastor prepares the ground and sows the seed... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ephesians 4:1-32

The apostle at once proceeded to apply this great doctrine to the present life of the Church. From the heavenly calling he passed to the earthly conduct. The matter of first importance is maintenance of the unity of the Spirit. The fact of that unity is then declared. 'There is one body, and one Spirit"; the function of the instrument so described is revealed in the words, "one hope of your calling." He then showed how the unity is created: "one Lord," the Object of faith; "one faith,"... read more

The Higher Christian Life Ephesians 4:1-32 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. A prisoner of the Lord. One would hardly expect to find a prisoner in a Roman jail, the author of such a remarkable letter. We are accustomed to think of prisoners as men who are versed in crime. Paul, however, was a prisoner of the Lord. He was in prison, not because of his guilt, but because of his righteousness, and, withal his faithfulness to Christ. From the prison jail, Bunyan wrote as one sent of God. Behind the prison... read more
