Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ephesians 1:6

_ _ (Ephesians 1:7, Ephesians 1:17, Ephesians 1:18). The end aimed at (Psalms 50:23), that is, that the glory of His grace may be praised by all His creatures, men and angels.

_ _ wherein — Some of the oldest manuscripts read, “which.” Then translate, “which He graciously bestowed on us.” But English Version is supported by good manuscripts and the oldest versions.

_ _ us accepted — a kindred Greek word to “grace”: charitos, echaritosen: translate, “graciously accepted”; “made us subjects of His grace”; “embraced us in the arms of His grace” (Romans 3:24; Romans 5:15).

_ _ in the beloved — pre-eminently so called (Matthew 3:17; Matthew 17:5; John 3:35; Colossians 1:13). Greek, “Son of His love.” It is only “IN HIS BELOVED” that He loves us (Ephesians 1:3; 1 John 4:9, 1 John 4:10).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ephesians 1:3-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ephesians 1:6

To the praise of the glory of his grace — His glorious, free love without any desert on our part.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Ephesians 1:6

(9) To the (i) praise of the glory of his grace, (10) wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

(9) The uttermost and chiefest final cause is the glory of God the Father, who saves us freely in his Son.

(i) That as his bountiful goodness deserves all praise, so also it should be set forth and proclaimed.

(10) Another final cause more near is our justification, in that he freely accounted us as being righteous in his Son.
