Ephesians 5:19
_ _ (Colossians 3:16).
_ _ to yourselves — “to one another.” Hence soon arose the antiphonal or responsive chanting of which Pliny writes to Trajan: “They are wont on a fixed day to meet before daylight [to avoid persecution] and to recite a hymn among themselves by turns, to Christ, as if being God.” The Spirit gives true eloquence; wine, a spurious eloquence.
_ _ psalms — generally accompanied by an instrument.
_ _ hymns — in direct praise to God (compare Acts 16:25; 1 Corinthians 14:26; James 5:13).
_ _ songs — the general term for lyric pieces; “spiritual” is added to mark their being here restricted to sacred subjects, though not merely to direct praises of God, but also containing exhortations, prophecies, etc. Contrast the drunken “songs,” Amos 8:10.
_ _ making melody — Greek, “playing and singing with an instrument.”
_ _ in your heart — not merely with the tongue; but the serious feeling of the heart accompanying the singing of the lips (compare 1 Corinthians 14:15; Psalms 47:7). The contrast is between the heathen and the Christian practice, “Let your songs be not the drinking songs of heathen feasts, but psalms and hymns; and their accompaniment, not the music of the lyre, but the melody of the heart” [Conybeare and Howson].
_ _ to the Lord — See Pliny’s letter quoted above: “To Christ as God.” |
Ephesians 5:19
Speaking to each other — By the Spirit. In the Psalms — Of David. And hymns — Of praise. And spiritual songs — On any divine subject. By there being no inspired songs, peculiarly adapted to the Christian dispensation, as there were to the Jewish, it is evident that the promise of the Holy Ghost to believers, in the last days, was by his larger effusion to supply the lack of it. Singing with your hearts — As well as your voice. To the Lord — Jesus, who searcheth the heart. |
Ephesians 5:19
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your (l) heart to the Lord;
(l) With an earnest affection of the heart, and not with the tongue only. |
- to yourselves:
Acts 16:25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

James 5:13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
