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

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
