Ephesians 6:2
_ _ Here the authority of revealed law is added to that of natural law.
_ _ which is ... promise — The “promise” is not made the main motive to obedience, but an incidental one. The main motive is, because it is God’s will (Deuteronomy 5:16, “Honor thy father and mother, as the Lord thy God hath COMMANDED thee”); and that it is so peculiarly, is shown by His accompanying it “with a promise.”
_ _ first — in the decalogue with a special promise. The promise in the second commandment is a general one. Their duty is more expressly prescribed to children than to parents; for love descends rather than ascends [Bengel]. This verse proves the law in the Old Testament is not abolished. |
Ephesians 6:2
Honour — That is, love, reverence, obey, assist, in all things. The mother is particularly mentioned, as being more liable to be slighted than the father. Which is the first commandment with a promise — For the promise implied in the second commandment does not belong to the keeping that command in particular, but the whole law. Exodus 20:12 |
Ephesians 6:2
(4) Honour thy father and mother; (5) (which is the first commandment with (b) promise;)
(4) A proof of the first argument. (5) The third argument taken of the profit that ensues from it: because the Lord gave this commandment among all the rest a special blessing.
(b) With a special promise: for otherwise the second commandment has a promise of mercy to a thousand generations, but that promise is general. |
