<< Ephesians 5:13

Ephesians 5:15 >>

Ephesians 5:14

Wherefore he saith (dio legei). Apparently a free adaptation of Isaiah 26:19; Isaiah 60:1. The form anasta for anasthqi (second person singular imperative second aorist active of anisthmi) occurs in Acts 12:7.

Shall shine (epifausei). Future active of epifauskw, a form occurring in Job (Job 25:5; Job 31:26), a variation of epifwskw. The last line suggests the possibility that we have here the fragment of an early Christian hymn like I Timothy 3:16.

Other Robertson's Word Pictures (NT) entries containing Ephesians 5:14:

John 5:25
Acts 12:7
1 Timothy 3:16
