Ephesians 2:8
_ _ For — illustrating “the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness.” Translate as in Ephesians 2:5, “Ye are in a saved state.”
_ _ through faith — the effect of the power of Christ’s resurrection (Ephesians 1:19, Ephesians 1:20; Philippians 3:10) whereby we are “raised together” with Him (Ephesians 2:6; Colossians 2:12). Some of the oldest manuscripts read, “through your (literally, ‘the’) faith.” The instrument or mean of salvation on the part of the person saved; Christ alone is the meritorious agent.
_ _ and that — namely, the act of believing, or “faith.” “Of yourselves” stands in opposition to, “it is the gift of God” (Philippians 1:29). “That which I have said, ‘through faith,’ I do not wish to be understood so as if I excepted faith itself from grace” [Estius]. “God justifies the believing man, not for the worthiness of his belief, but for the worthiness of Him in whom he believes” [Hooker]. The initiation, as well as the increase, of faith, is from the Spirit of God, not only by an external proposal of the word, but by internal illumination in the soul [Pearson]. Yet “faith” cometh by the means which man must avail himself of, namely, “hearing the word of God” (Romans 10:17), and prayer (Luke 11:13), though the blessing is wholly of God (1 Corinthians 3:6, 1 Corinthians 3:7). |
Ephesians 2:8
By grace ye are saved through faith — Grace, without any respect to human worthiness, confers the glorious gift. Faith, with an empty hand, and without any pretence to personal desert, receives the heavenly blessing. And this is not of yourselves — This refers to the whole preceding clause, That ye are saved through faith, is the gift of God. |
Ephesians 2:8
For by (h) grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:
(h) So then, grace, that is to say, the gift of God, and faith, stand with one another, to which two it is contrary to be saved by ourselves, or by our works. Therefore, what do those mean who would join together things of such contrary natures? |
