Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ephesians 4:6

_ _ above — “over all.” The “one God over all” (in His sovereignty and by His grace) is the grand source and crowning apex of unity (Ephesians 2:19, end).

_ _ through all — by means of Christ “who filleth all things” (Ephesians 4:10; Ephesians 2:20, Ephesians 2:21), and is “a propitiation” for all men (1 John 2:2).

_ _ in you all — The oldest manuscripts omit “you.” Many of the oldest versions and Fathers and old manuscripts read, “in us all.” Whether the pronoun be read or not, it must be understood (either from the “ye,” Ephesians 4:4, or from the “us,” Ephesians 4:7); for other parts of Scripture prove that the Spirit is not “in all” men, but only in believers (Romans 8:9, Romans 8:14). God is “Father” both by generation (as Creator) and regeneration (Ephesians 2:10; James 1:17, James 1:18; 1 John 5:1).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ephesians 4:2-16.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes
