For you were once darkness, but now are you light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
All Commentaries on Ephesians 5:8 Go To Ephesians 5
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
By darkness is here meant the state of infidelity into which they had been plunged so far as to adore stones as God, and committed without remorse the above-mentioned grievous sins. But delivered by Christ from this darkness, they have become light in the Lord, shining in faith and justice. (Estius)
