Efésios 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.

Efésios 4:27 In-Context

25 Portanto, cada um de vocês deve abandonar a mentira e falar a verdade ao seu próximo, pois todos somos membros de um mesmo corpo.
26 “Quando vocês ficarem irados, não pequem”. Apazigúem a sua ira antes que o sol se ponha
27 e não deem lugar ao Diabo.
28 O que furtava não furte mais; antes trabalhe, fazendo algo de útil com as mãos, para que tenha o que repartir com quem estiver em necessidade.
29 Nenhuma palavra torpe saia da boca de vocês, mas apenas a que for útil para edificar os outros, conforme a necessidade, para que conceda graça aos que a ouvem.
