Commentary

Commentary on Ephesians 3:21

Theological / Devotional

Glory. Literally, “the glory.” To God alone belongs the credit, recognition, and honor for the saving work of grace. There is no place for the assumption of virtue and glory on the part of the church or its members.

In the church by Christ Jesus. Textual evidence favors (cf. p. 10) the reading “in the church and in Jesus Christ.” The reasons, then, for praising God are found in these two places: in the church, because there His glory is reflected; in Christ, because He is the head of the body, the church.

Throughout ... end. Literally, “unto all the generations of the age of the ages,” that is, to all eternity.

Amen. See on Matt. 5:18.
