Kent: "When we remember what we once were, we will be less likely to revileunbelievers. Seven characteristics are indicated. Before salvation we were withoutunderstanding (anoetoi). The unsaved person is unable to perceive God's truth becausehis intelligence in spiritual matters is darkened (Eph.. 4:18). Consequently, sinners aredisobedient (apeitheis) to the revealed will of God, and are deceived (planomenoi),being caused to wander from the true course of God's will because they have followedtheir own unaided intellect.Such a course of action inevitably involves sinners in a continual slaving(douleuontees) for various desires and pleasures… Those whose efforts are a continualsearch for pleasure and satisfaction invariably lead lives of malice (kakiai) and envy(phthonoi). Full satisfaction is never reached; one pleasure is never enough…. As sucha course progresses, the sinner becomes detestable (stugetoi) to those who know him,and certainly is to God, and the outcome is a society of mutual distrust, persons hatingone another (misountes allelous)."Hendriksen: "The process of reasoning which we find in these verses (verses 3-7) isfamiliar to the student of Paul's epistles. Note the three stages:We were by nature children of wrath -- we have been made alive -- we now lookforward by faith to the ages to come when we shall receive even greater glory (Eph.2:1-10);We were idol-worshippers -- we now serve the true and living God --we await thecoming of the Son of God from heaven (1 Thess. 1:9,10), and our everlastingfellowship with him (I Thess. 4:13-18).We were ungodly and ruled by worldly passions -- we have renounced all this and arenow living lives of self-mastery and fairness and devotion -- we are waiting for therealization of the blessed hope (Titus 2:11-13)."Lenski: Re vs. 3 -- "Let the Cretans look back at their former condition; let them alsolook at what they see in the unregenerate about them at the present time. Then, as garindicates, they will understand Paul's injunction the better."Roy: Re definition of "eternal life" -- "When we use the adjective 'eternal' to describesomeone or something, we mean that that person or thing is free from all the limitationsof time. When we say, for example, that God is eternal, we mean that he has nobeginning and that he has no end. God always was and he always will be. Now in thatsense only God is eternal, because only God has no beginning. Everything else createdby God has a beginning, everything else has a starting point in time--including theeternal life promised by God to his children in Christ. But we call our new life in Christeternal life, because it is not bound by time with regard to the future. There are no limitsto its duration. That is to say, our eternal life in Christ will last forever and ever andever. It will never be cut short, never come to an end."Hiebert: Re pouring out of the Holy Spirit generously or richly -- "stresses that God hasmade ample provision for the development of this renewed life. 'Poured out' (aoristtense) had its primary fulfillment at Pentecost, but 'on us' marks the pouring out as
individually experienced at conversion (Rom 5:5). The Spirit's work in each believer asa member of the Body is a continuation of the Pentecostal outpouring. Every faulty orinadequate experience of renewal is always due to some human impediment, never toGod's inadequate provision."
