| Ephesians 5:6 | *Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the children of unbelief. Matthew 24:4.; Mark 13:5.; Luke 21:8.; 2 Thessalonians 2:3. | The apostle here puts them in mind of the general judgment, when the angel of God will, on account of their crimes of avarice, fornication, etc. fall on the children of unbelief; by which are meant the wicked. He had before assured them that the perpetrators of such crimes would be excluded from the kingdom of heaven; and now he moreover informs them, that the severest punishments will be inflicted on such wicked persons. (Estius) |
