Ephesians 2:6

Eph. 2:6. "And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus." The meaning is not, hath made us sit together with one another, but together with Christ; as it is said in the foregoing verse, "He hath quickened us together with Christ," as the Apostle goes on in this verse, "He hath raised us up together with Him, and hath made us sit together with Him in heavenly places." This is more plain by looking at these two verses as in the original. It is here evident that the with which each verb is compounded has respect to the same thing, and that each one denotes the communion the saints have with Christ, in being quickened and also raised up and set in heavenly places. The import of the original would perhaps have been more naturally suggested to us if the translation had been thus, "He hath jointly quickened with Christ, and jointly raised us up, and jointly set us in heavenly places in Christ;" and when, as in the last cause, there is added "in Christ Jesus," it is to denote that the saints ascend into heaven, and reign in glory there with Him, and in Him, which more fully expresses the manner in which the saints have communion with Christ in His ascension to heaven, and that dignity and glory that He possesses there, as sitting with Him on His throne.
