30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Ver. 30. And grieve not, &c. ] As men in heaviness cannot despatch their work as they were wont; so neither doth the Spirit. if we grieve the Holy Ghost, how should we expect that he should comfort us?

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ephesians 4:25-32

c. By putting off the (five) Gentile vices, Ephesians 4:25 to Ephesians 5:2 . The five Gentile vices here are: 1. Lying, Ephesians 4:25; 2. Anger, Ephesians 4:26-27; 3. Stealing, Ephesians 4:28; 4. Ribaldry, Ephesians 4:29-30; 5. Brawling, Ephesians 4:31; and Ephesians 5:1-2. To his warning against each vice St. Paul adds either its aggravation, as in 1 and 4; or a contrasted picture of the reverse virtue, as in 3 and 5.
