Ephesians 5:5

this ye know—The oldest manuscripts read, "Of this ye are sure knowing"; or as ALFORD, "This ye know being aware."

covetous . . . idolater— (Colossians 3:5). The best reading may be translated, That is to say, literally, which is (in other words) an idolater. Paul himself had forsaken all for Christ (II Corinthians 6:10; II Corinthians 11:27). Covetousness is worship of the creature instead of the Creator, the highest treason against the King of kings (I Samuel 15:3; Matthew 6:24; Philippians 3:19; I John 2:15).

hath—The present implies the fixedness of the exclusion, grounded on the eternal verities of that kingdom [ALFORD].

of Christ and of God—rather, as one Greek article is applied to both, "of Christ and God," implying their perfect oneness, which is consistent only with the doctrine that Christ is God (compare II Thessalonians 1:12; I Timothy 5:21; I Timothy 6:13).
