Vincent's Word Studies in the NT

Ephesians 5:2

Walk in love. As imitators of God who is love.

Loved us [η μ α ς] The correct reading is uJmav you.

Gave [π α ρ ε δ ω κ ε ν]. To death Compare Romans 4:25, where the same verb was delivered is followed by was raised. See also Romans 8:32; Galatians 2:20.

Offering - sacrifice [π ρ ο σ φ ο ρ α ν - θ υ σ ι α ν]. Offering, general, including the life as well as the death of Christ : sacrifice, special : on the cross. Properly, a slain offering.

A sweet smelling savor [ο σ μ η ν ε υ ω δ ι α ς]. Rev., correctly, odor of a sweet smell. See on 2 Corinthians 2:14; 2 Corinthians 2:15; 2 Corinthians 2:16. The Septuagint, in Leviticus 1:9, uses this phrase to render the Hebrew, a savor of quietness. For [ε ι ς] expresses design, that it might become, or result : so that it became.
