17 - Ephesians 5:1&2


~Be
Imitators of God~


Therefore
become imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved
children [imitate their father]; and walk continually in love [that is, value
one another—practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for
others], just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering
and sacrifice to God [slain for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance.

FROM Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers: (24) Who his own self.—This verse, like the “for you” in 1Peter 2:21, is intended to make the readers feel the claims of gratitude, not to set before them another point in which Christ was to be imitated. But at the same time it serves to enforce still more strongly the two points already mentioned—i.e., sinlessness and suffering. So far was Christ from “doing sins,” that He actually His own self bore ours, and in so doing endured the extremity of anguish “in His own body,” so that He could sympathise with the corporal chastisements of these poor servants; and “on the tree,” too, the wicked slave’s death. Bare our sins . . . on the tree.—This brings us face to face with a great mystery; and to add to the difficulty of the interpretation, almost each word is capable of being taken in several different ways. Most modern scholars are agreed to reject “on the tree,” in favour of the marginal “to,” the proper meaning of ...
