Ephesians Capitolo 6 2 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
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
(De 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 Capitolo 6 3 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
3. long on the earth--In
Ex 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; Pr 10:27).
The substance and essence of the law are eternally in force: its accidents alone (applying to Israel of old) are abolished
(Ro 6:15).
Ephesians Capitolo 6 4 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
4. fathers--including mothers; the fathers are specified as being the fountains of domestic authority. Fathers are more prone to passion in relation to their children than mothers, whose fault is rather over-indulgence.
provoke not--irritate not, by vexatious commands, unreasonable blame, and uncertain temper [ALFORD].
Col 3:21,
"lest they be discouraged."
nurture--Greek, "discipline," namely, training by chastening in act where needed
(Job 5:17; Heb 12:7).
admonition--training by words
(De 6:7;
"catechise,"
Pr 22:6,
Margin), whether of encouragement, or remonstrance, or reproof, according as is required [TRENCH]. Contrast
1Sa 3:13,
Margin.
of the Lord--such as the Lord approves, and by His Spirit dictates.
Ephesians Capitolo 6 5 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
5. Servants--literally, "slaves."
masters according to the flesh--in contrast to your true and heavenly Master
(Eph 6:4).
A consolatory him that the mastership to which they were subject, was but for a time [CHRYSOSTOM]; and that their real liberty was still their own
(1Co 7:22).
fear and trembling--not slavish terror, but (See on
1Co 2:3;
2Co 7:15)
an anxious eagerness to do your duty, and a fear of displeasing, as great as is produced in the ordinary slave by "threatenings"
(Eph 6:9).
singleness--without double-mindedness, or "eye service"
(Eph 6:6),
which seeks to please outwardly, without the sincere desire to make the master's interest at all times the first consideration
(1Ch 29:17; Mt 6:22, 23; Lu 11:34).
"Simplicity."

6.
(Col 3:22).
Seeking to please their masters only so long as these have their eyes on them: as Gehazi was a very different man in his master's presence from what he was in his absence
(2Ki 5:1-18).
men-pleasers--not Christ-pleasers (compare
Ga 1:10; 1Th 2:4).
doing the will of God--the unseen but ever present Master: the best guarantee for your serving faithfully your earthly master alike when present and when absent.
from the heart--literally, soul
(Ps 111:1; Ro 13:5).
Ephesians Capitolo 6 7 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
7. good will--expressing his feeling towards his master; as "doing the will of God from the heart" expresses the source of that feeling
(Col 3:23).
"Good will" is stated by XENOPHON [Economics] to be the principal virtue of a slave towards his master: a real regard to his master's interest as if his own, a good will which not even a master's severity can extinguish.
Ephesians Capitolo 6 8 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
8. any man doeth--Greek, "any man shall have done," that is, shall be found at the Lord's coming to have done.
the same--in full payment, in heaven's currency.
shall . . . receive--
(2Co 5:10; Col 3:25;
but all of grace,
Lu 17:10).
bond or free--
(1Co 7:22; 12:13; Ga 3:28; Col 3:11).
Christ does not regard such distinctions in His present dealings of grace, or in His future judgment. The slave that has acted faithfully for the Lord's sake to his master, though the latter may not repay his faithfulness, shall have the Lord for his Paymaster. So the freeman who has done good for the Lord's sake, though man may not pay him, has the Lord for his Debtor
(Pr 19:17).
Eph 6:1-24.
MUTUAL DUTIES OF PARENTS AND CHILDREN: MASTERS AND SERVANTS: OUR LIFE A WARFARE: THE SPIRITUAL ARMOUR NEEDED AGAINST SPIRITUAL FOES. CONCLUSION.
1. obey--stronger than the expression as to wives, "submitting," or "being subject"
(Eph 5:21).
Obedience is more unreasoning and implicit; submission is the willing subjection of an inferior in point of order to one who has a right to command.
in the Lord--Both parents and children being Christians "in the Lord," expresses the element in which the obedience is to take place, and the motive to obedience. In
Col 3:20,
it is, "Children, obey your parents in all things." This clause, "in the Lord," would suggest the due limitation of the obedience required
(Ac 5:29;
compare on the other hand, the abuse,
Mr 7:11-13).
right--Even by natural law we should render obedience to them from whom we have derived life.
