Evangelical biblical scholar Leon Morris prepared his own literal translation and verse-by-verse explanation of key words and grammatical constructions. He relates the meaning of individual verses to the overall structure. Through his careful study of the text, the author establishes meditative and homiletical applications that express the fresh relevance of Paul's teachings on God's plan and initiative in salvation; God's sovereignty and wisdom; implications of justification, faith, sanctification, love, and the unity of all believers; and the spiritual armor and prayer texts of Ephesians 6.

This is a reprint of Bro John Allfree's notes on the Epistle to the Ephesians. They were first produced in 1973 to accompany series of talks given at a Bible Study Weekend in Toronto. They achieved a limited circulation in North America, and were then serialise in the Bible Student Magazine, and in 1978 were published in book form by VCE Publications, Canada. They have been out of print for some years, but have been reprinted in response to requests for their republication. The book represents an attempt to expound the principal themes of the Epistle to the Ephesians, and is not intended to be an exhaustive exegetical verse-by-verse commentary. The final chapter seeks to extract from the apostle's words counsel to meet the needs of the 21st century disciple, and encouragement to those who seek to ""be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might""

In his letter to the Ephesian church, the apostle Paul lays before his readers God’s plan of salvation, which is to be fulfilled when all things find their rightful place in Christ. Paul draws out the practical implications of God’s purpose for the body of Christ, showing how the unity of a new humanity is revealed within it as a foretaste of the ultimate unity of all things in the Son of God. This commentary shows the relevance of Ephesians for the church in Asia today seeking to understand God’s eternal purposes in Christ, especially in the face of pluralism, suffering and injustice. The Asia Bible Commentary Series empowers Christians in Asia to read the Bible from within their respective contexts. Holistic in its approach to the text, each exposition of the biblical books combines exegesis and application. The goal is to strengthen the body of Christ in Asia by providing pastoral and contextual exposition of every book of the Bible.

The latter half of Chapter 4 of Paul's letter to the Ephesians is the watershed of this magnificent document that is often referred to as the "holy of holies." Paul was never hesitant to declare God's truth as he proclaimed it to those professing faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, after praising The Triune God for the love, wisdom, and blessings bestowed upon us during the first three and one-half chapters Paul does an about face and enjoins the believers with these strong words saying, "This I . . . testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk in the vanity (futility) of their mind." He is telling the hearers that once they are Christ's they are to walk to a different drummer, the Master Himself. Paul completes the watershed transition by reminding professing Christians, "But ye have not so learned Christ." It is with these simple, single syllable words that he opens new horizons for the members of Christ's body and paves the way for enunciating the duties and responsibilities they are to learn and to do when Following Christ. This learning and practicing is not easy, but it us joyful, rewarding, and worthwhile. That is why Paul, before embarking on Christ's learning pathway, tells the followers in the way to, "put off . . . the old man; be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And . . . put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness." May we heed God's truth as revealed to Paul by the Holy Spirit. These blessings are comforting, strengthening, and manifold when committing ourselves to Walking With Jesus.
