Ephesians 6:3

_ _ long on the earth — In Exodus 20:12, “long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee,” which Paul adapts to Gospel times, by taking away the local and limited reference peculiar to the Jews in Canaan. The godly are equally blessed in every land, as the Jews were in the land which God gave them. This promise is always fulfilled, either literally, or by the substitution of a higher blessing, namely, one spiritual and eternal (Job 5:26; Proverbs 10:27). The substance and essence of the law are eternally in force: its accidents alone (applying to Israel of old) are abolished (Romans 6:15).

See commentary on Ephesians 6:1-9.

Ephesians 6:3

That thou mayest live long upon the earth — This is usually fulfilled to eminently dutiful children; and he who lives long and well has a long seed — time for the eternal harvest. But this promise, in the Christian dispensation, is to be understood chiefly in a more exalted and Spiritual sense.
