On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

The miserable condition of the Ephesians by nature is here in part described. Unregenerate souls are dead in trespasses and sins. All those who are in their sins, are dead in sins; yea, in trespasses and sins, which may signify all sorts of sins, habitual and actual, sins of heart and of life.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

And hath broken down the middle wall of partition - Alluding to that wall of old, which separated the court of Israel from the court of the gentiles. Such a wall was the ceremonial law, which Christ had now taken away.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical

Christ came to take up the quarrel, and to bring it to an end, by reconciling both Jew and Gentile, now collected and gathered into one body, to a provoked and an offended God: and this by the cross, or by the sacrifice of himself upon the cross, having slain the enmity thereby. He, being slain or sacrificed, slew the enmity that there was between God and poor sinners.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

By His being slain, He slew it (compare Heb 2:14). thereby--Greek, "therein"; "in" or "by the cross," that is, His crucifixion (Col 2:15).
