Ephesians 5:19

5:19 speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music ⁴  in ⁵  your hearts to the Lord,

[4:1]  ¹ tn Grk “prisoner in the Lord.”

[4:1]  ² tn Grk “walk.” The verb “walk” in the NT letters refers to the conduct of one’s life, not to physical walking.

[4:1]  ³ sn With which you have been called. The calling refers to the Holy Spirit’s prompting that caused them to believe. The author is thus urging his readers to live a life that conforms to their saved status before God.

[5:19]  ⁴ tn See BDAG 1096 s.v. ψάλλω.

[5:19]  ⁵ tn Or “with.”
