This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Eph 4:2. Μετὰ-μετὰ, with-with) To these refer the two following participles, ἀνεχόμενοι, σπουδάζοντες, forbearing, endeavouring diligently, which, being in the nominative, depend on the preceding imperative implied, walk ye. [The man, who is affected, as he ought to be, with a sense of the Divine calling, will be found to be adorned with the virtues mentioned in this passage, 1Pe 3:9; Php 1:27.-V. g.]-πάσης, with all) To be construed also with meekness [πραΰτητος] (as well as with ταπεινοφροσύνης, lowliness), Col 3:12-13.-ταπεινοφροσύνης, lowliness of mind) From a sense of grace, Rom 11:20.-ἐν ἀγάπῃ, in love) In the bond of peace, Eph 4:3, corresponds to this expression. “In love” occurs again, Eph 4:15-16. And here, love is preached [inculcated]: faith, in Eph 4:5; hope, in Eph 4:4.
