Ephesians 2:21
_ _ In whom — as holding together the whole.
_ _ fitly framed — so as exactly to fit together.
_ _ groweth — “is growing” continually. Here an additional thought is added to the image; the Church has the growth of a living organism, not the mere increase of a building. Compare 1 Peter 2:5; “lively stones ... built up a spiritual house.” Compare Ephesians 4:16; Zechariah 6:12, “The Branch shall build the temple of the Lord,” where similarly the growth of a branch, and the building of a temple, are joined.
_ _ holy — as being the “habitation of God” (Ephesians 2:22). So “in the Lord” (Christ) answers to “through the Spirit” (Ephesians 2:22; compare Ephesians 3:16, Ephesians 3:17). “Christ is the inclusive Head of all the building, the element in which it has its being and now its growth” [Alford]. |
Ephesians 2:21
On whom all the building fitly framed together — The whole fabric of the universal church rises up like a great pile of living materials. Into an holy temple in the Lord — Dedicated to Christ, and inhabited by him, in which he displays his presence, and is worshipped and glorified. What is the temple of Diana of the Ephesians, whom ye formerly worshipped, to this? |
Ephesians 2:21

Ezekiel 40:1-42:20 In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth [day] of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither. ...
