Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ephesians 2:1-22

Ephesians 2:1 . You hath he quickened. The word quickened is not in the Greek, but the old Latin version repeats it here from the fifth verse, presuming it to be implied. It reads well without it, thus: And you, when dead in trespasses and sins, wherein you once walked, &c. Who were dead in trespasses and sins. In Colossians 2:13 the apostle uses a similar expression: “You being dead in your sins, and the uncircumcision of your flesh.” Sinners are also said to be “alienated from the... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Ephesians 2:19

Ephesians 2:19Fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God.The communion of saintsThe Church at Ephesus was a mixed community of Jewish and Gentile converts. The old feuds between them had not passed away. The Jew refused to let go the claim of his nation to some religious superiority over the Gentile, and thought the latter ought to stand afar off and worship in some outer court. But the great design of Christianity, argues the apostle, is to abolish these enmities, to break... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ephesians 2:11-22

2. The unification of Jew and Gentile into this one elect Church, 11-22. Thus far St. Paul has vividly imaged the elect Church as a unit. One God, one Christ, one faith, one glory. His picture is completed; and he has now time to remember (Ephesians 2:11) that his real, present, flesh-and-blood Ephesian Church is ethnically that is, by race a dual Church. Both sections, indeed, belong to the great Caucasian family. But one has come down through Shem, and Heber, and Abraham to the present... read more
