This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Eph 4:6. Πάντων, of all) This word occurring thrice, and πᾶσιν presently after, both are masculine; for all are reduced to unity [are brought together as one, under the one God and Father].-ἐπὶ) high above all with His grace.-διὰ πάντων) Working throughout all, through [by means of] Christ.-ἐν πᾶσιν,[56]) in all dwelling, in (i.e., by) the Holy Spirit.
[56] ABC Memph. read ἐν πᾶσιν only. DGfg Vulg., both Syr. Versions, Iren., Firmilian ad Cypr. 150, Hilary, add ἡμῖν. Rec. Text, with no very old authority, reads ὑμῖν.-ED.
The larger Ed. had preferred the omission of the pronoun, whether ὑμῖν or ἡμῖν; but the Germ. Vers., following the decision of the 2d Ed., received the pronoun ἡμῖν.-E. B.
