corrupt (v.29) = rotten, worn out, unfit for use, worthless, bad<\/h3>\n

word (v.29) = logos<\/em> = saying, utterance, speech<\/h3>\n

In Greek, the verse reads, “Every word that is corrupt, out of your mouth let it not be proceeding …”<\/h3>\n

grace (v.29) = charis<\/em> = spiritual benefits that will accrue to the hearer<\/h3>\n

do not grieve (v.30) = lit. “stop grieving” \u2014 specifically in reference to what has just been said in v.29 about speaking<\/h3>\n

by whom 9v.30) = lit. “in whom” \u2014 the Holy Spirit is Himself the seal (see notes on Ephesians 1:13<\/a><\/span>)<\/h3>\n

day of redemption (v.30) \u2014 the Rapture, when our physical bodies will be glorified (Romans 8:22-23<\/a><\/span>)<\/h3>\n

all (v.31) = all manner of<\/h3>\n

bitterness (v.31) = resentfulness, harshness, virulence<\/h3>\n

be (v.32) = become \u2014 Paul is instructing the readers to abandon one mental condition and take up a new one.<\/h3>\n

kind (v.32) = benevolent, gracious<\/h3>\n

tenderhearted (v.32) = compassionate<\/h3>\n

forgiving (v.32) \u2014 “Forgiving” [here] is not aphiemi<\/em>, the word usually used when God forgives our sins, which word means “to put away,” God forging our sins in the sense that He in the Person of His Son bore them on the Cross, paying the penalty, satisfying the just demands of His law, but charizomai<\/em>, “to do a favor to, do something agreeable or pleasant to one, to show one’s self gracious, benevolent, to forgive in the sense of treating the offending party graciously.” The same word is used of God here forgiving us in Christ. \u2014 Wuest, page 117.<\/span><\/h3>\n

__________<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

in Christ (v.32) \u2014 It is “the God who forgives, being the God who manifests Himself and acts in the suffering, reconciling Christ.” It is the God who forgives in the sphere of Christ in that His forgiveness is made possible from the point of the law, through the atonement. \u2014 Wuest, page 118.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Even as (v.32) = kathos = <\/em>according as, just as, in the degree that, seeing that<\/h3>\n

Forgiveness, like many other doctrines, must be studied dispensationally. Under the performance system of the law, forgiveness was based upon a kindred spirit. If one refused to forgive his neighbor a wrong after he had repented, God withheld forgiveness from the one who possessed the unforgiving spirit. Our Lord, who ministered under the law, also confirmed that forgiveness was conditional: For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: but if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses (Matthew 6:14-15<\/a><\/span>).<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

In contrast, Paul’s writings reveal that the believer in Christ today is working from a position of perpetual forgiveness from which he is free to forgive others. Once again, this is a new revelation from the Lord of glory. We are to forgive others unconditionally, even as God [in Christ] has forgiven us. \u2014 Sadler, pages 215-216.<\/span><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
