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.

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
