以弗所书 4:23 Meaning and Commentary

Ephesians 4:23

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind.
] Or by the Spirit that is in your mind; that is, by the Holy Spirit; who is in the saints, and is the author of renovation in them; and who is the reviver and carrier on, and finisher of that work, and therefore that is called the renewing of the Holy Spirit, ( Titus 3:5 ) or rather the mind of man, which is a spirit, of a spiritual nature, immaterial and immortal, and is the seat of that renewing work of the Spirit of God; which shows, that the more noble part of man stands in need of renovation, being corrupted by sin: and this renewing in it, designs not the first work of renovation; for these Ephesians had been renewed, and were made new creatures in Christ; but the gradual progress of it; and takes in, if not principally intends, a renewal, or an increase of spiritual light and knowledge, of life and strength, of joy and comfort, and fresh supplies of grace, and a revival of the exercise of grace; and in short, a renewal of spiritual youth, and a restoration of the saints to that state and condition they were in, in times past: and the exhortation to this can only mean, that it becomes saints to be concerned for such revivings and renewings, and to pray for them, as David did, ( Psalms 51:10 ) for otherwise, this is as much the work of the Spirit of God, as renovation is at first; and he only who is sent forth, and renews the face of the earth, year by year, can renew us daily in the Spirit of our minds.

以弗所书 4:23 In-Context

21 如 果 你 们 听 过 他 的 道 ， 领 了 他 的 教 ， 学 了 他 的 真 理 ，

22 就 要 脱 去 你 们 从 前 行 为 上 的 旧 人 ， 这 旧 人 是 因 私 欲 的 迷 惑 渐 渐 变 坏 的 ；

23 又 要 将 你 们 的 心 志 改 换 一 新 ，

24 并 且 穿 上 新 人 ； 这 新 人 是 照 着 神 的 形 像 造 的 ， 有 真 理 的 仁 义 和 圣 洁 。

25 所 以 你 们 要 弃 绝 谎 言 ， 各 人 与 邻 舍 说 实 话 ， 因 为 我 们 是 互 相 为 肢 体 。
