Context of Ephesians 4:30
28Let the stealer steal no more, but rather let him toil, working what is honest with [his] hands, that he may have to distribute to him that has need. 29Let no corrupt word go out of your mouth, but if [there be] any good one for needful edification, that it may give grace to those that hear [it]. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which ye have been sealed for [the] day of redemption. 31Let all bitterness, and heat of passion, and wrath, and clamour, and injurious language, be removed from you, with all malice; 32and be to one another kind, compassionate, forgiving one another, so as God also in Christ has forgiven you.

Commentaries on Ephesians 4:30
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 30Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God - By giving way to any wrong temper, unholy word, or unrighteous action. Even those who have already a measure of the light and life of God, both of which are not only brought in by the Holy Spirit, but maintained by his constant indwelling, may give way to sin, and so grieve this Holy Spirit that it shall withdraw both its light and presence; and, in proportion as it withdraws, then hardness and darkness take place; and…Read the comment

This sets forth the principle of love in the heart, and the outward expression of it, in a…Read the comment

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 3030. grieve not--A condescension to human modes of thought most touching. Compare "vexed His Holy Spirit" (Is 63:10; Psa 78:40); "fretted me" (Eze 16:43: implying His tender love to us); and of hardened unbelievers, "resist the Holy Ghost" (Ac 7:51).
