A.T. Robertson Commentary Ephesians 4:25

"Wherefore, putting away falsehood, speak ye truth each one with his neighbor: for we are members one of another." — Ephesians 4:25 (ASV)

Wherefore (διο). Because of putting off the old man, and putting on the new man.

Putting away (αποθεμενο). Second aorist middle participle of αποτιθημ (verse 22).

Lying (ψευδος),

truth (αληθειαν) in direct contrast.

Each one (εκαστος). Partitive apposition with λαλειτε. See Col 3:8 μη ψευδεσθε. Ephesians 4:26Be ye angry and sin not (οργιζεσθε κα μη αμαρτανετε). Permissive imperative, not a command to be angry. Prohibition against sinning as the peril in anger. Quotation from Ps 4:4.

Let not the sun go down upon your wrath (ο ηλιος μη επιδυετω επ παροργισμω). Danger in settled mood of anger. Παροργισμος (provocation), from παροργιζω, to exasperate to anger, occurs only in LXX and here in N.T.
