Ephesians 5:6

Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

Vain - unreal words; namely, palliations of "uncleanness" (Ephesians 5:3; ) (that it is natural to indulge in love), "covetousness" (that it is useful to society to pursue gain), and "jesting" (that it is witty, and that God will not punish for such things).

Because of these things - uncleanness, covetousness, etc. (Ephesians 5:3.)

Cometh - not merely, 'shall come.' Is as sure as if already come. The principles of God's moral government are present and enduring.

Children - rather, 'sons of disobedience' (Ephesians 2:2). The children of 'no faith' in doctrine () are "children of disobedience" in practice, having the character of their mother (Origen), and so are "children of wrath."
