This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Eph 4:27. Μήτε, Neither) Place is given to the devil by persisting in anger, especially during the night; comp. [the Rulers] of the darkness, ch. Eph 6:12.[74]-μήτε is used as ΚΑῚ ΜῊ, Eph 4:30.
[74] This reference also implies that Beng. takes the night, during which anger is retained, as figurative of the darkness over which the devil is prince. This does not exclude the literal sense. The literal keeping of anger during the night is typical of spiritual giving place to the devil, the ruler of darkness.-ED.
