Study Note

The imperative to 'put on…bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering' addresses the 'elect of God, holy and beloved' — identity-language drawn from Deuteronomy 7:6 and Isaiah 43:4 — grounding the ethical demands in prior election and love rather than in aspiration. The clothing metaphor ('put on,' endysasthe) parallels the earlier 'put off the old man' and 'put on the new man' of verses 9-10, presenting virtue as the wardrobe of the new humanity created in Christ's image. The list's social range — from inward compassion to interpersonal patience — reflects the community context of the household codes following in 3:18-4:1, where these virtues are displayed in domestic relationships. Ephesians 4:32's parallel list confirms this as a shared catechetical formula of early Christian moral instruction.
