Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ephesians 1:14

_ _ earnest — the first installment paid as a pledge that the rest will follow (Romans 8:23; 2 Corinthians 1:22).

_ _ until — rather, “Unto the redemption,” etc.; joined thus, “ye were sealed (Ephesians 1:13) unto,” that is, for the purpose of and against, the accomplishment of “the redemption,” namely, not the redemption in its first stage, made by the blood of Christ, which secures our title, but, in its final completion, when the actual possession shall be ours, the full “redemption of the body” (Romans 8:23), as well as of the soul, from every infirmity (Ephesians 4:30). The deliverance of the creature (the body, and the whole visible creation) from the bondage of corruption, and from the usurping prince of this world, into the glorious liberty of the children of God (Romans 8:21-23; 2 Peter 3:13).

_ _ of the purchased possession — God’s people purchased (“acquired,” Greek) as His peculiar (Greek) possession by the blood of Christ (Acts 20:28). We value highly that which we pay a high price for; so God, His Church (Ephesians 5:25, Ephesians 5:26; 1 Peter 1:18; 1 Peter 2:9; “my special treasure,” Malachi 3:17, Margin).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ephesians 1:3-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ephesians 1:14

Who, thus sealing us, is an earnest — Both a pledge and a foretaste of our inheritance. Till the redemption of the purchased possession — Till the church, which he has purchased with his own blood, shall be fully delivered from all sin and sorrow, and advanced to everlasting glory. To the praise of his glory — Of his glorious wisdom, power, and mercy.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes
