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

They must love them with tender and faithful affection, as Christ loved the church, and as their own bodies, and even as themselves ( Eph. v. 25, 28, 33 ), with a love peculiar to the nearest relation and the greatest comfort and blessing of life.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

(Eph 5:22-33.) be not bitter--ill-tempered and provoking. Many who are polite abroad, are rude and bitter at home because they are not afraid to be so there.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed
