This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Eph_5:7. Οὖν ] since on account of these sins, etc.
συμμέτοχοι αὐτῶν ] αὐτῶν can, in keeping with the context, only be referred to the υἱοὺς τῆς ἀπειθ ., whose co-partners the Christians become, if they practise the same sins, whereby they fall from the state of reconciliation (Rom_11:22; 2Pe_3:17) and incur the divine ὀργή (Eph_5:5). Koppe’s interpretation: “ejusdem cum iis fortunae compotem fieri,” is an importation at variance with the context (see Eph_5:8-11).
As to συμμέτοχος , see on Eph_3:6.
