Efesini 4:27 Meaning and Commentary

Ephesians 4:27

Neither give place to the devil.
] Or "to the accuser", or "slanderer"; that is, to any adversary, that takes delight in slandering and reproaching the saints; give such no room, nor reason, to calumniate the doctrine and ways of Christ, through an unbecoming conversation, by lying and sinful anger, or by other means; or rather the devil, the great accuser of the brethren is meant; and the Ethiopic version renders it, "do not give way to Satan"; which is done, when men indulge any lust or corruption; and when they easily fall in with his suggestions and temptations; when they are off of their watch and guard; and when they do not resist, but quietly yield unto him.

Efesini 4:27 In-Context

25 Perciò, deposta la menzogna, parlate in verità ciascuno col suo prossimo; poichè noi siam membra gli uni degli altri.
26 Adiratevi, e non peccate; il sole non tramonti sopra il vostro cruccio.
27 E non date luogo al diavolo.
28 Chi rubava non rubi più; anzi più tosto fatichi, facendo qualche buona opera con le proprie mani, acciocchè abbia di che far parte a colui che ha bisogno.
29 Niuna parola malvagia esca dalla vostra bocca; ma, se ve n’è alcuna buona ad edificazione, secondo il bisogno; acciocchè conferisca grazia agli ascoltanti.
