ACC ~ Ephesians 4 v15

SPEAKING IN LOVE. AMBROSIASTER: Considering the love of Christ by which he loved us and gave himself up for us, we should make everything subject to him, knowing that he is the author of life for all. This is the truth. We are to be subject to him as members of the body are to the head. Others, either through error or through malice, may not confess that Christ is the head of everything or that everything is created from him by the Father’s will. But we who adhere to the wholeness of faith ought nonetheless to take pains with all care and devotion that we bring no harm to this faith but rather to uphold it. We do this by remaining steadfast in this affirmation, so as to constrain the talk of depraved minds armed against the truth. EPISTLE TO THE EPHESIANS 4.15.

WITHOUT PRETENSE. THEODORET: This he also says in the letter to the Romans: “Let love be without pretense.” In his letter to the Corinthians he speaks of “unpretending love.” Here also he calls upon them to act with genuine love and through this to increase the riches of the excellence of their life in the Lord himself. EPISTLE TO THE EPHESIANS 4.15.
