This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Eph 4:1. Ὁ δέσμιος, the prisoner) The bonds of Paul were subservient to the calling of the Ephesians; and these ought to be so affected by them (his bonds) as to delight Paul with their obedience; a striking instance of feeling, ἦθος.-ἐν Κυρίῳ, in the Lord) construed with prisoner.-τῆς κλήσεως, of the vocation) Eph 4:4. This is derived from ch. Eph 1:18; nay, rather from ch. 1, 2, and 3. [For the second part of the epistle begins here, comprehending exhortations, and especially those which flow from the doctrine already discussed.-V. g.] Comp. Col 3:15.
