Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ephesians 4:30

_ _ grieve not — A condescension to human modes of thought most touching. Compare “vexed His Holy Spirit” (Isaiah 63:10; Psalms 78:40); “fretted me” (Ezekiel 16:43 : implying His tender love to us); and of hardened unbelievers, “resist the Holy Ghost” (Acts 7:51). This verse refers to believers, who grieve the Spirit by inconsistencies such as in the context are spoken of, corrupt or worthless conversation, etc.

_ _ whereby ye are sealed — rather, “wherein (or ‘in whom’) ye were sealed.” As in Ephesians 1:13, believers are said to be sealed “inChrist, so here “in the Holy Spirit,” who is one with Christ, and who reveals Christ in the soul: the Greek implies that the sealing was done already once for all. It is the Father “BY” whom believers, as well as the Son Himself, were sealed (John 6:27). The Spirit is represented as itself the seal (Ephesians 1:13, for the image employed, see on Ephesians 1:13). Here the Spirit is the element IN which the believer is sealed, His gracious influences being the seal itself.

_ _ unto — kept safely against the day of redemption, namely, of the completion of redemption in the deliverance of the body as well as the soul from all sin and sorrow (Ephesians 1:14; Luke 21:28; Romans 8:23).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ephesians 4:17-32.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ephesians 4:30

Grieve not the Holy Spirit — By any disobedience. Particularly by corrupt discourse; or by any of the following sins. Do not force him to withdraw from you, as a friend does whom you grieve by unkind behaviour. The day of redemption — That is, the day of judgment, in which our redemption will be completed.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Ephesians 4:30

(18) And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

(18) A general precept against all excess of affections which dwell in that part of the mind, which they call "angry", and he sets against them the contrary means. And he uses a most strong preface, how we ought to take heed that we grieve not the Holy Spirit of God through our immoderateness and excessiveness, who dwells in us to the end of moderating all our affections.
