Ephesians 4:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Ephesians 4:17

15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the ^ahead—Christ—

16 ^afrom whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

The New Man

17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should ^ano longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind,

18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the ^ablindness of their heart;

19 ^awho, being past feeling, ^bhave given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

20 But you have not so learned Christ,

21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus:

22 that you ^aput off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,

23 and ^abe renewed in the spirit of your mind,

24 and that you ^aput on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

Do Not Grieve the Spirit

25 Therefore, putting away lying, ^a“Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for ^bwe are members of one another.

26 ^a“Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath,
