This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Of whom; either of God, or rather of Christ, last mentioned.
The whole family, or kindred, the church of God being his household, Eph_2:19.
In heaven and earth; all the saints, both which are already in glory, and which yet live upon the earth, wherever or whoever they be, Jews or Gentiles.
Is named: to be named, or called, implies the thing as well as the name, Isa_7:14 Luk_1:35. The whole family is named of Christ; i.e. of him they are, as well as are called, Christians, and the church of God. The Jews boasted of Abraham as their father; but now all believers, even Gentiles, are one family of God’s people, and upon them the name of Christ is called.
