On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. The apostle, having described our privileges by Christ in the former part of the epistle, and our discharge from the yoke of the ceremonial law, comes here to press upon us our duty as inferred thence.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

And this is well-pleasing to God, or acceptable to him; for it is the first commandment with promise ( Eph. vi. 2 ), with an explicit promise annexed to it, namely, That it shall be well with them, and they shall live long on the earth.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

(Eph 6:1.) unto the Lord--The oldest manuscripts read, "IN the Lord," that is, this is acceptable to God when it is done in the Lord, namely, from the principle of faith,and as disciples in union with the Lord.
