Matthew Poole and continuators on Ephesians 4:24

24 And that ye put on the new man , which after God s is created in righteousness , and true holiness.

The same Metaphor of a Garment as before, to shew the intimateness of the New Man with us, and its being an ornament to us.

i. e. A new disposition or constitution of the whole man, called the New Creature, 2 Cor. 5.17. and a Divine Nature, 2 Pet. 1.4. After God's Image.

Either Righteousness may relate to the second table, and Holiness to the first, and so both contain our Duty to Man, and to God; or Righteousness may imply that divine principle in us, whereby we perform our whole Duty to God, and the Creature; and Holiness that which denieth all mixture of corruption in our Duty to God and Man.

Sincere and Sound. As Righteousness and Holiness are opposed to lusts, v. 22. so true here, to deceitfull there.

Marginal references: Rom. 6.4. Col. 3.10.; Or, holiness of truth.
