After Paul's salutation,3. and thanksgiving for the Ephesians, 4. he treats of our election, 6. and adoption by grace; 11. which is the true and proper fountain of man's salvation. 13. And because the height of this mystery cannot be easily attained unto, 16. he prays that they may come to the full knowledge and possession thereof in Christ. (8) Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence.--It should be, which He made to overflow to us in all wisdom and prudence--the word "overflow" having an emphasis which our word "abound" has lost, and signifying here that the richness of God's grace not only fills the soul with the blessing of salvation, but overflows into the additional gifts of "all wisdom and prudence" in us, which gifts are here dwelt upon in anticipation of the declaration of the next verse. Of these two gifts, wisdom is clearly the higher gift, signifying (as in the Old Testament) the knowledge of the true end of life, which can only come from some knowledge of the "wisdom of God," that is, the divine purpose of His dispensation. (See especially Proverbs 8:22-31.) Such knowledge is revealed to us through the "mind of Christ," who is Himself the true wisdom or "Word of God." (See 1Corinthians 1:24; 1Corinthians 1:30; 1Corinthians 2:6-10; 1Corinthians 2:16.) Hence wisdom is spoken of in connection with various other gifts, which are but partial manifestations of it. Here with "prudence," that is, wisdom in action; in Colossians 1:9, with "intelligence," that is, wisdom in judgment; in 1Corinthians 12:8, Colossians 2:3, with "knowledge," that is, wisdom in perception; in Ephesians 1:17 of this chapter, with "revelation," the means by which wisdom is gained. . . . Verse 8. - Which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence. This rendering of the R.V. is better than the A.V., "wherein he hath abounded," for ῆς before ἐπερίσσευσεν can hardly be put for the dative; it is genitive by attraction for the accusative. The wisdom and prudence refer to God; he has not made his grace abound to us in a random manner, but in a carefully regulated manner. This is more fully explained afterwards, in reference to God's concealment for a time of the universality of his grace, but manifestation of it now. Some have found a difference between σοφία and φρονήσις, the one being theoretical wisdom and the other practical, or the one intellectual and the other moral; but possibly they may be meant merely to intensify the idea - the height of wisdom is shown in God's way of making his grace abound toward us (comp. Romans 11:33, "Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!"). Parallel Commentaries ...
