Efesios 4:7 Meaning and Commentary

Ephesians 4:7

But unto everyone of us is given grace
Which may refer to the saints in common, and may be interpreted of justifying, pardoning, adopting, sanctifying, and persevering grace, bestowed upon them all, freely and liberally, not grudgingly, nor niggardly, and without motive and condition in them; or to the ministers of the Gospel, and so design gifts fitting for the ministry, which every one has, though differing one from another, and all of free grace:

according to the measure of the gift of Christ:
either according to the gift of grace to Christ before the world began, and the measure of it, which he communicates to them in time, even grace for grace; or according to that measure of gifts which Christ received from men at his ascension: it may be observed that every member of Christ, and minister of his, receive more or less grace and gifts from him; and that what they receive is all of free grace, and in measure; and though they may have gifts differing one from another, yet all are useful; so that there is no room for pride, envy, and contempt, which would break in upon the unity of the Spirit; for what is said from ( Ephesians 4:3 ) contains so many arguments to stir up the saints to endeavour to preserve that.

Efesios 4:7 In-Context

5 Hay un solo Señor, una sola fe, un solo bautismo,

6 y un solo Dios y Padre de todos, quien está sobre todos y en todos, y vive por medio de todos.

7 No obstante, él nos ha dado a cada uno de nosotros un don
especial mediante la generosidad de Cristo.

8 Por eso las Escrituras dicen:
«Cuando ascendió a las alturas,
se llevó a una multitud de cautivos
y dio dones a su pueblo»
.

9 Fíjense que dice «ascendió». Sin duda, eso significa que Cristo también descendió a este mundo inferior.
