Bible Commentary for Ephesians 5:5

Wesley's Notes for Ephesians 5:5


5:3 But let not any impure love be even named or heard of among you - Keep at the utmost distance from it, as becometh saints.

5:4 Nor foolish talking - Tittle tattle, talking of nothing, the weather, fashions, meat and drink. Or jesting - The word properly means, wittiness, facetiousness, esteemed by the heathens an half - virtue. But how frequently even this quenches the Spirit, those who are tender of conscience know. Which are not convenient - For a Christian; as neither increasing his faith nor holiness.

5:6 Because of these things - As innocent as the heathens esteem them, and as those dealers in vain words would persuade you to think them.



People's Bible Notes for Ephesians 5:5


Eph 5:5 No whoremonger, nor unclean person. "No fornicator" (Revised Version). No person of licentious life, words or thoughts. Nor covetous man, who is an idolater. See PNT "Eph 5:3". The covetous man gives his heart to the object of his greed rather than to God, and hence is virtually an idolater. Hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. None of these are heirs of the kingdom and hence have no promise of heaven.
