Therefore be not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
All Commentaries on Ephesians 5:17 Go To Ephesians 5
Ambrosiaster
AD 400
Do what you have to do with moderation. This is the will of the Lord. Do not allow commotion and din or discord with bad feeling to give rise to estrangement. So Paul adds these words to what he has said about his wish that the servants of God should admonish wrongdoing.
