Ephesians 2:2

Early Christian Commentary - (A.D. 100 - A.D. 325)

Anf-01 v.vii.vii Pg 11
Eph. ii. 2.

from whom the Lord Jesus Christ will deliver us, who prayed that the faith of the apostles might not fail,1025

1025


Anf-01 v.vi.vi Pg 15
Comp. Eph. ii. 2.

lest at any time being overcome,936

936 Literally, “oppressed.”

ye grow weak in your love. But be ye all joined together937

937 Some render, “come together into the same place.”

with an undivided heart and a willing mind, “being of one accord and of one judgment,”938

Anf-01 v.xvii.iv Pg 2
Eph. ii. 2.

He wrought in Judas, in the Pharisees, in the Sadducees, in the old, in the young, and in the priests. But when it was just about to be erected, he was troubled, and infused repentance into the traitor, and pointed him to a rope to hang himself with, and taught him [to die by] strangulation. He terrified also the silly woman, disturbing her by dreams; and he, who had tried every means to have the cross prepared, now endeavoured to put a stop to its erection;1321

1321 [This is the idea worked out by St. Bernard. See my note (supra) suffixed to the Syriac Epistle to Ephesians.]

not that he was influenced by repentance on account of the greatness of his crime (for in that case he would not be utterly depraved), but because he perceived his own destruction [to be at hand]. For the cross of Christ was the beginning of his condemnation, the beginning of his death, the beginning of his destruction. Wherefore, also, he works in some that they should deny the cross, be ashamed of the passion, call the death an appearance, mutilate and explain away the birth of the Virgin, and calumniate the [human] nature1322

1322 The various Gnostic sects are here referred to, who held that matter was essentially evil, and therefore denied the reality of our Lord’s incarnation.

itself as being abominable. He fights along with the Jews to a denial of the cross, and with the Gentiles to the calumniating of Mary,1323

1323 The ms. has μαγείας, “of magic;” we have followed the emendation proposed by Faber.

who are heretical in holding that Christ possessed a mere phantasmal body.1324

1324 Literally, “heretical in respect to phantasy.”

For the leader of all wickedness assumes manifold1325

1325 Literally, is “various,” or “manifold.”

forms, beguiler of men as he is, inconsistent, and even contradicting himself, projecting one course and then following another. For he is wise to do evil, but as to what good may be he is totally ignorant. And indeed he is full of ignorance, on account of his voluntary want of reason: for how can he be deemed anything else who does not perceive reason when it lies at his very feet?


Anf-01 ix.vii.xxv Pg 13
Eph. ii. 2.

becoming envious of man, was rendered an apostate from the divine law: for envy is a thing foreign to God. And as his apostasy was exposed by man, and man became the [means of] searching out his thoughts (et examinatio sententiæ ejus, homo factus est), he has set himself to this with greater and greater determination, in opposition to man, envying his life, and wishing to involve him in his own apostate power. The Word of God, however, the Maker of all things, conquering him by means of human nature, and showing him to be an apostate, has, on the contrary, put him under the power of man. For He says, “Behold, I confer upon you the power of treading upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all the power of the enemy,”4663

Anf-02 vi.ii.i Pg 24.1


Anf-03 v.iv.vi.xvii Pg 26
Eph. ii. 1, 2.

But Marcion must not here interpret the world as meaning the God of the world.5972

5972 Deo mundi: i.e. the God who made the world.

For a creature bears no resemblance to the Creator; the thing made, none to its Maker; the world, none to God. He, moreover, who is the Prince of the power of the ages must not be thought to be called the prince of the power of the air; for He who is chief over the higher powers derives no title from the lower powers, although these, too, may be ascribed to Him. Nor, again, can He possibly seem to be the instigator5973

5973


Anf-03 v.iv.vi.xvii Pg 28
Operator: in reference to the expression in ver. 2, “who now worketh,” etc.

of that unbelief which He Himself had rather to endure at the hand of the Jews and the Gentiles alike. We may therefore simply conclude that5974

5974 Sufficit igitur si.

these designations are unsuited to the Creator.  There is another being to whom they are more applicable—and the apostle knew very well who that was. Who then is he? Undoubtedly he who has raised up “children of disobedience” against the Creator Himself ever since he took possession of that “air” of His; even as the prophet makes him say: “I will set my throne above the stars;…I will go up above the clouds; I will be like the Most High.”5975
