Ephesians Study Notes—Chapter 4New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
-
-
do not give the Devil an opportunity: This phrase, which may more literally be rendered “neither allow place for the Devil,” adds force to Paul’s warning about the danger of prolonged anger. (See study note on Eph 4:26.) A Christian who allows anger or hostile feelings to fester in his heart might, figuratively speaking, be making room, or allowing a place, for the Devil to occupy. Satan would thereby have an opportunity to influence such a Christian to commit a serious sin. (Ps 37:8) If the Christian allowed prolonged anger to disrupt the unity of the congregation, he may also be serving the Devil’s interests.—Jas 4:1, 7.
