Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ephesians 4:25

_ _ Wherefore — From the general character of “the new man,” there will necessarily result the particular features which he now details.

_ _ putting awayGreek, “having put away” once for all.

_ _ lying — “falsehood”: the abstract. “Speak ye truth each one with his neighbor,” is quoted, slightly changed, from Zechariah 8:16. For “to,” Paul quotes it “with,” to mark our inner connection with one another, as “members one of another” [Stier]. Not merely members of one body. Union to one another in Christ, not merely the external command, instinctively leads Christians to fulfil mutual duties. One member could not injure or deceive another, without injuring himself, as all have a mutual and common interest.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ephesians 4:17-32.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ephesians 4:25

Wherefore — Seeing ye are thus created anew, walk accordingly, in every particular. For we are members one of another — To which intimate union all deceit is quite repugnant.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Ephesians 4:25

(14) Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

(14) He commends separately certain special Christian virtues, and first of all he requires truth (that is to say, sincere manners), condemning all deceit and hypocrisy, because we are born one for another.
