Epheser 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.

Epheser 4:27 In-Context

25 Darum leget die Lüge ab und redet die Wahrheit, ein jeglicher mit seinem Nächsten, sintemal wir untereinander Glieder sind.
26 Zürnet, und sündiget nicht; lasset die Sonne nicht über eurem Zorn untergehen.
27 Gebet auch nicht Raum dem Lästerer.
28 Wer gestohlen hat der stehle nicht mehr, sondern arbeite und schaffe mit den Händen etwas Gutes, auf daß er habe, zu geben dem Dürftigen.
29 Lasset kein faul Geschwätz aus eurem Munde gehen, sondern was nützlich zur Besserung ist, wo es not tut, daß es holdselig sei zu hören.
