Ephesians 2:8

Sermon Bible Commentary - Ephesians 2:8

Ephesians 2:8 Salvation by Grace. I. To Paul the doctrine of justification by faith was not a final statement of Christian truth.

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

For by grace ye are saved ] So Ephesians 2:5 , and everywhere almost St Paul is a most constant preacher of the grace of God, as Chrysostom styleth him.
