(Eph 4:25.)
put off--Greek, "wholly put off"; utterly renounced [TITTMANN]. (Eph 4:22).
the old man--the unregenerate nature which ye had before conversion.
his deeds--habits of acting. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Lie not one to another - Notes, Eph 4:25.
Seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds - Your former corrupt and evil nature; Notes, Eph 4:22. The reason for putting away lying, stated in Eph 4:25, is, that we "are members one of another" - or are brethren. The reason assigned here is, that we have put off the old man with his deeds. The sense is, that lying is one of the fruits of sin. It is that which the corrupt nature of man naturally produces; and when that is put off, then all that that nature produces should be also put off with it. The vice of lying is a universal fruit of sin, and seems to exist everywhere where the gospel does not prevail; compare the notes at Tit 1:12. There is, perhaps, no single form of sin that reigns so universally in the pagan world. |

| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Lie not one to another - Do not deceive each other; speak the truth in all your dealings; do not say, "My goods are so and so," when you know them to be otherwise; do not undervalue the goods of your neighbor, when your conscience tells you that you are not speaking the truth. It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer; but afterwards he boasteth; i.e. he underrates his neighbour's property till he gets him persuaded to part with it for less than its worth; and when he has thus got it, he boasts what a good bargain he has made. Such a knave speaks not truth with his neighbor.
Ye have put off the old man - See the notes on Rom 6:6; and particularly on Rom 13:11-14 (note). Ye have received a religion widely different from that ye had before; act according to its principles. |
22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
