Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ephesians 4:1-32

Now Paul begins the fourth chapter again with the reminder that he is aprisoner of the Lord, and I beseech you, [I beg you, I implore you] that you walk worthy of the vocation wherewith you are called ( Ephesians 4:1 ).Now, notice this is the first mention now that Paul makes of your response to God. He has spent three chapters telling you what God has done for you, of what God has given to you, of what God has provided for you. He has spent three chapters unfolding the glorious mysteries of... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ephesians 4:1-32

Ephesians 4:1-2 . I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you a pathetic argument, for if I hear of discords among you it will add affliction to my bonds; that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called. We are called with a holy calling, according to his purpose and grace. 2 Timothy 1:9. We are called to come out from among the wicked, and to regard the earth only as the land of our pilgrimage. 2 Corinthians 6:17. We are called with a high and holy calling as the sons... read more

Ephesians 4:26Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath.Dissuasive from angerI. A general principle. It must keep clear of sin “be ye angry, and sin not.”1. Unjust anger is clearly wrong.2. Excessive anger comes under the same condemnation.3. Personal anger is scarcely ever without sin; yet this is the character of the greater number of cases. We are angry with the person, rather than with his misconduct.4. Selfish anger may always be suspected of sin.II. A special rule.... read more

Ephesians 4:27Neither give place to the devil. The defeat to be dreadedI. The devil strives to gain the mastery over man. He comes into actual contact with us, even against our will. He studies our character. When Napoleon entered fresh territory, he spread a map upon the ground, and upon his knees he pondered it until he made himself familiar with all its features; he knew the rivers with their bridges and fords, the villages and their position in relation to adjacent towns: he then planned... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ephesians 4:26

26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Ver. 26. Be angry and sin not ] The easiest charge under the hardest condition that can be. Anger is a tender virtue, and must be warily managed. He that will be angry and not sin, let him be angry at nothing but sin. Let not the sun go down ] If ye have overshot in passion, let it not rest or roost in you, lest it become malice. Plutarch writeth that it was the custom of Pythagoras’ scholars, however they had been at... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ephesians 4:27

27 Neither give place to the devil. Ver. 27. Neither give place, &c. ] Vindictive spirits let the devil into their hearts; and though they defy him, and spit at him, yet they spit not low enough; for he is still at inn with them, as Mr Bradford speaketh. As the master of the pit often sets two cocks to fight together, to the death of both, and then, after mutual conquest, suppeth with both their bodies; so, saith Gregory, dealeth the devil with angry and revengeful men. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Ephesians 4:26

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:Be ye angry, and sin not — That is, if ye are angry, take heed ye sin not. Anger at sin is not evil; but we should feel only pity to the sinner. If we are angry at the person, as well as the fault, we sin. And how hardly do we avoid it.Let not the sun go down upon your wrath — Reprove your brother, and be reconciled immediately. Lose not one day. A clear, express command. Reader, do you keep it? read more
