'in,' as [Acts 13:1](../../../kjv/acts/13/1) ; [Revelation 2:1](../../../kjv/revelation/2/1) . Ephesus. (b-20) It may be interesting to mention that though 'at Ephesus' is found in almost all copies, many authorities would leave it out. Some, without sufficient ground, have considered it as a kind of circular. Compare [Colossians 4:16](../../../kjv/colossians/4/16) . 4:1 wherewith (b-16) Or 'according to which.' 4:3 bond (c-13) It is not only 'bond,' but the 'bond-together.' It is not the power of union -- that is the Holy Spirit; but the practically uniting in fact, as amongst men on earth. 4:4 body (d-4) It may be translated '[the] body is one,' and so on. If we could leave out 'there is' or 'is', the force would be so much the greater. 4:8 says, (e-3) See [Psalms 68:18](../../../kjv/psalms/68/18) . 4:12 (f-1) *Pros* . it directs attention to the object when reached, or when the subject is at, or with the object. 'The Word was with ( *pros* ) God,' [John 1:1](../../../kjv/john/1/1) *Eis* 'with a view to' here, and 'at' three times, ver. 13, refers to the object in the *mind* of the person. See [Mark 11:1](../../../kjv/mark/11/1) , where 'to' (twice) is *eis* , and 'at' is *pros* . Christ; (g-26) Or 'of the Christ.' 4:13 knowledge (h-14) 'Full knowledge,' as ch. 1.17; [Colossians 1:9](../../../kjv/colossians/1/9) . 4:14 in (i-22) The form of the Greek phrase makes it somewhat difficult to translate. I do not think that the phrase 'in the sleight of,' &c., is in connection with 'tossed and carried about,' but, in sense, with 'that teaching.' The cheating, as of dice-players, and still more methodic craft, characterized the teaching. 'In the sleight of men' marks the power and character of the teaching. What I have given is literal, and is sufficiently clear. 'that' is emphatic. 4:16 supply, (k-14) The word 'supply' in Greek has the emphatic article and it might read 'that supply, [which is] according to.' The article denotes a known supply from Christ. sufficiently known to be referred to, to which also the 'from whom' lends force. 4:17 as (a-16) Lit. 'as also,' or 'even as.' 4:21 in (b-16) There is an emphatic article before 'Jesus.' 'Jesus' is personally brought into relief. 4:22 conversation (c-10) i.e. manner of life. itself (d-16) Or 'goes on in corruption.' The Greek word is used for 'destroy' in [1 Corinthians 3:17](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/3/17) . The two thoughts combine here. 4:24 holiness. (e-19) Lit. 'righteousness and holiness of the truth.' see ver. 21. 4:25 falsehood, (f-5) Everything that has the character and nature of falsehood. It is abstract, what has this quality, not merely the act of lying. 4:27 for (g-4) Or 'give way to.' 4:29 corrupt (h-3) Or 'filthy;' a figure drawn from what is evil and bad, as fruit. see [Matthew 7:17-18](../../../kjv/matthew/7/17-18) 'worthless.' 4:30 for (i-16) *Eis* . see ch. 1.14. 4:32 kind, (k-6) As 'good,' [Luke 6:35](../../../kjv/luke/6/35) ; [1 Peter 2:3](../../../kjv/1-peter/2/3) . forgiving (l-8) forgiven (l-18) Or 'showing grace to,' 'shown grace to,' as [Luke 7:42](../../../kjv/luke/7/42) . ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/darbys-synopsis-of-the-new-testament/ephesians/4#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/images/missing.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/images/missing.jpg","width":640,"height":370,"caption":"Darby's Synopsis of the New Testament - Ephesians 4"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/darbys-synopsis-of-the-new-testament/ephesians/4#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/darbys-synopsis-of-the-new-testament/ephesians/4","name":"Darby's Synopsis of the New Testament - Ephesians 4","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/darbys-synopsis-of-the-new-testament/ephesians/4#primaryimage"},"datePublished":null,"dateModified":null,"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"1:1 at (a-19) Lit.
