This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Eph 4:30. Μὴ λυπεῖτε, grieve not) by corrupt conversation. The Holy Spirit is grieved not in Himself, but in us [or in other men (by reason of our conversation)-V. g.], when His calm testimony is deranged. The LXX. often use λυπεῖν for חרה and קצף.-ἐσφραγίσθητε, ye have been sealed) that you may know that there is not only some day of deliverance, but also that that day will be a day of deliverance to you, as being the sons of God; and on that account rejoice [opposed to grieve].-εἰς ἡμέραν ἀπολυτρώσεως, to the day of deliverance [redemption]) This is the last day; of which there is a kind of representation [present realization-a pledge given in hand] in the day of death; it takes for granted all previous days, Rom 2:16. On that day especially it will be a matter of importance to us, who shall be found to be sealed.
