Ephesians 4:18 — Community Reflections

EPHESIANS 4:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 0

“Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:”

They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts — the pagan condition: the nous ('mind') is eskotemenos ('darkened,' morally blinded), apoallotriōō ('separated,' alienated) from the zōē tou theou ('life of God'), dia tēn agnoian ('because of ignorance'), the pōrōsis ('hardening,' callousness) of the kardia ('heart').
