Commentaries on Ephesians 4:24

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 24Put on the new man - Get a new nature; for in Christ Jesus - under the Christian dispensation, neither circumcision avails any thing, nor uncircumcision, hut a new creation. Therefore ye must be renewed in the spirit of your mind. Which after God is created in righteousness - Here is certainly an allusion to the creation of man. Moses tells us, Genesis 1:27, that God created man in his own image; that is, God was the model according to which he was formed…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 24And that ye put on the new man - The new man refers to the renovated nature. This is called in other places, the “new creature, or the new creation” (see the notes on 2 Corinthians 5:17), and refers to the condition after the heart is changed. The change is so great, that there is no impropriety in speaking of one who has experienced it as “a new man.” He has new feelings, principles, and desires. He has laid aside his old principles and practices, and…Read the comment

They were void of all saving knowledge; they sat in darkness, and loved it rather than…Read the comment

The Greek here (kainon) is different from that for "re-new-ed" (Ep 4:23).
