With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
All Commentaries on Ephesians 4:2 Go To Ephesians 4
Jerome
AD 420
Anyone who understands what it is “forbear one another in love” will understand that this is a precept appropriate to the faithful. It is not indeed saints who have any need to “forbear one another.” Rather it is those in the earlier stages of Christian life, who being human are still under the control of some passion. Nor is it strange that this should be said to the Ephesians. Among them there were surely some who still had to bear patiently with others. .
