Efesios 5:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ephesians 5:10

Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
] There are many things that are acceptable to God, as the person of Christ, his righteousness, sacrifice, sufferings, death, and mediation; the persons of his people, their services, sufferings, sacrifices of prayer, and praise to him, and of bounty and liberality to the poor; their graces, and the exercise of them; and the actions of their lives and conversations, when they are becoming the Gospel, are according to the will of God, and are done in faith, and are directed to his glory: and these things which are acceptable to God, as all the truths of the Gospel, and duties of religion are, should be proved, or tried by men; and in order to the trial of spiritual things, it is necessary that the mind be renewed, the understanding be enlightened, the spiritual senses be in exercise, and all be under the influence and directions of the Spirit of God: and the trial is to be made, not according to human reason, which is corrupt and fallible; and besides, there are some things in revelation above it; but according to the Scriptures, which are the word of God, and the rule of faith and practice; and whither the prophets, Christ, and his apostles, always sent men for the trial of divine things; and things being here tried, and found to be right, should be approved of, valued, and esteemed, cleaved to and held fast.

8 Porque en otro tiempo erais tinieblas; mas ahora sois luz en el Señor: andad como hijos de luz,
9 (Porque el fruto del Espíritu es en toda bondad, y justicia, y verdad;)
10 Aprobando lo que es agradable al Señor.
11 Y no comuniquéis con las obras infructuosas de las tinieblas; sino antes bien redargüidlas.
12 Porque torpe cosa es aun hablar de lo que ellos hacen en oculto.
