In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
All Commentaries on Ephesians 1:7 Go To Ephesians 1
Jerome
AD 420
The one who is yet to be redeemed is a captive. He has ceased to be free by coming under the power of the enemy. So we are captives in this world and bound by the yoke of slavery to the principalities and powers, unable to release our hands from our chains. So we raise our eyes upward until the Redeemer arrives. .
