SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:1–20: Paul described behavior which is fitting for believers

In chapter 5, Paul continued with the subject of Christian behavior, which he had begun in the last section of chapter 4. So it is not necessary to start a new section here. One reason to start a new section here is to help the reader, as the previous section is already long. Some English versions begin a new section at 5:1 (BSB, GNT, NLT, NET, GW, NCV, ESV, NASB, NKJV), and some do not (NIV, RSV, NRSV, NJB, CEV, REB, KJV). You may want to consult your national translation and follow their example.

In this section, Paul exhorted the Christians to imitate God and avoid the sins of the pagan people surrounding them.

Here are some other examples for a heading for this section:

Living in the light (GNT, NLT, NCV)

Imitate God (GW)

Paragraph 5:6–14

Some English versions begin a new paragraph at 5:6. Others begin a new paragraph at 5:8.

In this paragraph, Paul used the words “darkness” and “light” in a metaphorical sense. These words will be discussed further below.

5:10

Test and prove what pleases the Lord.

Test and prove what pleases the Lord: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Test and prove here in this context means that Paul was telling the Ephesians to try to “discern, discover, determine,” what pleases the Lord For example:

Determine which things please the Lord. (GW)

Here are some other ways to translate Test and prove:

Try to find out

try to learn (GNT)

Discern/discover

what pleases the Lord: This clause means “what the Lord wants you to do.”

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

what actions and thoughts cause the Lord to be pleased

what makes the Lord happy with us

Lord: Paul probably meant the Lord God here since the phrase “pleasing to the Lord” is often used in the OT when talking about God.

So if you need to specify whether it is the Lord Christ or the Lord God, choose Lord God.

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

5:10 Carefully determine what pleases the Lord: The point is to obey God’s will, not simply to understand it (cp. Rom 12:2; Phil 1:10).
