Eph 3:13, μὴ ἐκκακεῖν, not to faint, which is a proof of sincerity (ἀφθαρσία, incorruption). Add 2Ti 1:10. We have its opposite, Eph 4:22.-ἀφθαρσία implies health without any blemish, and its continuance flowing from it. This is in consonance with the whole sum of the epistle; and thence ἀφθαρσία redounds to the love of believers towards Jesus Christ
[108] Τῶν ἀγαπώντων, that love) See of how great importance is that love, 1Co 16:22.-V. g.
