Commentary on Ephesians 4:7

Theological / Devotional

One God and Father of all. See on 1 Cor. 8:6. The common Father is the source of all unity. The greatest fact that the human heart can discover is that God is a father who can be trusted, one who is a friend to man. Through the ages men have yearned for someone to whom they might turn in what appeared to be an unfriendly world.

Above all. He is sovereign in His own house.

Through all. God is omnipresent (see on Ps. 139).

In you all. Textual evidence favors (cf. p. 10) omitting the pronoun, but may also be cited for the reading “us.” Omitting any pronoun brings the phrase into parallelism with the two preceding phrases and does no violence to Paul’s meaning.
