Ephesians 5:14
_ _ Wherefore — referring to the whole foregoing argument (Ephesians 5:8, Ephesians 5:11, Ephesians 5:13). Seeing that light (spiritual) dispels the pre-existing darkness, He (God) saith ... (compare the same phrase, Ephesians 4:8).
_ _ Awake — The reading of all the oldest manuscripts is “Up!” or, “Rouse thee!” a phrase used in stirring men to activity. The words are a paraphrase of Isaiah 60:1, Isaiah 60:2, not an exact quotation. The word “Christ,” shows that in quoting the prophecy, he views it in the light thrown on it by its Gospel fulfillment. As Israel is called on to “awake” from its previous state of “darkness” and “death” (Isaiah 59:10; Isaiah 60:2), for that her Light is come; so the Church, and each individual is similarly called to awake. Believers are called on to “awake” out of sleep; unbelievers, to “arise” from the dead (compare Matthew 25:5; Romans 13:11; 1 Thessalonians 5:6, with Ephesians 2:1).
_ _ Christ — “the true light,” “the Sun of righteousness.”
_ _ give thee light — rather, as Greek, “shall shine upon thee” (so enabling thee by being “made manifest” to become, and be, by the very fact, “light,” Ephesians 5:13; then being so “enlightened,” Ephesians 1:18, thou shalt be able, by “reproving,” to enlighten others). |
Ephesians 5:14
Wherefore he — God. Saith — In the general tenor of his word, to all who are still in darkness. Awake thou that steepest — In ignorance of God and thyself; in stupid insensibility. And arise from the dead — From the death of sin. And Christ shall give thee light — Knowledge, holiness, happiness. |
Ephesians 5:14
Wherefore (f) he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the (g) dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
(f) The scripture, or God in the scripture.
(g) He speaks of the death of sin. |
