Ephesians 1:18
_ _ understanding — The oldest manuscripts, versions, and Fathers, read “heart.” Compare the contrary state of unbelieving, the heart being in fault (Ephesians 4:18; Matthew 13:15). Translate, “Having the eyes of your heart enlightened” (Ephesians 5:14; Matthew 4:16). The first effect of the Spirit moving in the new creation, as in the original physical creation (Genesis 1:3; 2 Corinthians 4:6). So Theophilus to Autolycus (1.3), “the ears of the heart.” Where spiritual light is, there is life (John 1:4). The heart is “the core of life” [Harless], and the fountain of the thoughts; whence “the heart” in Scripture includes the mind, as well as the inclination. Its “eye,” or inward vision, both receives and contemplates the light (Matthew 6:22, Matthew 6:23). The eye is the symbol of intelligence (Ezekiel 1:18).
_ _ the hope of his calling — the hope appertaining to His having called you; or, to the calling wherewith He has called you.
_ _ and — omitted in the oldest manuscripts and versions.
_ _ riches of the glory — (Colossians 1:27).
_ _ his inheritance in the saints — The inheritance which he has in store in the case of the saints. I prefer explaining, “The inheritance which He has in his saints.” (See on Ephesians 1:11; Deuteronomy 32:9). |
Ephesians 1:18
The eyes of your understanding — It is with these alone that we discern the things of God. Being first opened, and then enlightened — - By his Spirit. That ye may know what is the hope of his calling — That ye may experimentally and delightfully know what are the blessings which God has called you to hope for by his word and his Spirit. And what is the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints — What an immense treasure of blessedness he hath provided as an inheritance for holy souls. |
Ephesians 1:18
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the (y) hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
(y) What blessings they are which he calls you to hope for, whom he calls to Christ. |
