Ef 5,12 - Pravdepodobne tu myslí na nemravné obrady pohanských náboženstiev.
Ef 5,12 - Porov. 1, 21.
Ef 5,13-14 - Zmysel týchto veršov je asi tento: Vrhnúť svetlo na hriech znamená ukázať ho taký, aký je, čiže hoden zavrhnutia. Všetko, čo sa vynesie na svetlo, má účasť na svetle a toto svetlo sa stotožňuje s Kristom. Citát je pravdepodobne úryvkom z nejakého starokresťanského hymnu. Podľa sv. Klementa Alexandrijského ide o krstný hymnus.
Ef 5,14 - Porov. Iz 11, 5; 59, 17; Múd 5, 18; 1 Sol 5, 8.
Ef 5,15 - Porov. Iz 52, 7; Nah 2, 1. "Pohotovosť pre evanjelium pokoja" môže tu znamenať horlivosť pre ohlasovanie evanjelia alebo rozlet, ktorý evanjelium dáva ľudskej existencii.
Ef 5,16 - Doslovne: "Vykupujte čas" (gr. káiros). Tento výraz je aj v Kol 4, 5. Má všeobecný význam, a preto ho aj rôzne prekladajú. Čas je tu čas spásy, ktorý sa začal Kristovým zmŕtvychvstaním a potrvá až do jeho slávneho druhého príchodu.

Ef 5,24 - "Čo milujú nášho Pána Ježiša Krista v neporušenosti" – možno chápať: "Čo milujú nášho Pána Ježiša Krista, ktorý je v neporušiteľnom živote", alebo vo vzťahu k veriacim: "Čo milujú nášho Pána Ježiša Krista neporušiteľnou láskou."
