The Pulpit Commentary - Ephesians 6:10-20

Panoply of God. Conclusion of Epistle "Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. In drawing the Epistle to a close, the apostle falls back on a form of expression he had used in the first chapter. There he showed that he had a high admiration of the strength of his [the Father's] might which he wrought in Christ," and which was proved by Christ being raised from the state of the dead "far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion." Here his admiration... read more

Soul-militancy. "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord," etc. The subject of these words is soul-militancy , and they bring under our notice the soul ' s foes , the soul ' s strength , the soul ' s weapons , and the soul ' s religiousness . I. THE SOUL 'S FOES . "We wrestle not against flesh and blood." The passage teaches the following things in relation to the antagonists of souls:— 1. They are spiritual personalities. They are spiritual , ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ephesians 6:10-24

The Christian panoply. After having treated Christian morals so carefully and shown how Christianity elevates the individual, the family, and the slave, Paul proceeds, in the close of this remarkable Epistle, to speak of the enemies and the arms of a Christian. Life is seen to be a battle, The enemies are manifold. It is not flesh and blood against which we fight. We leave the carnal warfare to the world. We contend against "the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ephesians 6:13-17

The whole armor of God. I. CHRISTIANS NEED TO BE ARMED . Aldershot cannot dispense with Woolwich. The army must be equipped before it can take the field. The knight must don his coat of mail and draw his sword if he is to make any use of his martial skill and prowess. So the Church must be prepared for the great conflict with unbelief, worldliness, and immorality. The individual Christian must be armed to meet temptation and to win a triumph. Many a sanguine young Christian... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ephesians 6:14-17

The Divine panoply in its separate parts. The spiritual equipment of the Christian is here described in detail—the belt, the breastplate, the sandals, the shield, the helmet, and the sword. I. TRUTH IS THE BELT , AS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE BREASTPLATE . "Having your loins girt about with truth ." As the belt or girdle kept the armor in its proper place, giving strength and buoyancy of action, so truth acts in relation to righteousness, faith, and peace. If truth were... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ephesians 6:16

Withal taking up the shield of faith. The θυξεός was a large oblong shield covering a great part of the body, not the ἀσπίς , smaller and more round. Faith, in its widest sense, constitutes this shield—faith in God as our Father, in Christ as our Redeemer, in the Spirit as our Sanctifier and Strengthener—faith in all the promises, and especially such promises as we find in Revelations 2. and 3. "to him that overcometh" (comp. promise to Ephesus, Revelation 2:7 ) Wherewith ye... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ephesians 6:17

And take the helmet of salvation. This is the head-covering (comp. Psalms 140:7 ). In 1 Thessalonians 5:8 we read, "putting on for an helmet the hope of salvation." The glorious truth that we are saved (comp. Ephesians 2:5 , Ephesians 2:8 ) appropriated, rested on, rejoiced in, will protect even so vital a part as the head, will keep us from intellectual surrender and rationalistic doubt. And the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. The sword supplied by the Spirit, the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ephesians 6:16

Above all - Ἐν πᾶσιν En pasin. Not “above all” in point of importance or value, but “over” all, as a soldier holds his shield to defend himself. It constitutes a protection over every part of his body, as it can be turned in every direction. The idea is, that as the shield covered or protected the other parts of the armor, so faith had a similar importance in the Christian virtues.The shield - note, Isaiah 21:9. The shield was usually made of light wood. or a rim of brass, and covered with... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ephesians 6:17

And take the helmet - The helmet was a cap made of thick leather, or brass, fitted to the head, and was usually crowned with a plume, or crest, as an ornament. Its use was to guard the head from a blow by a sword, or war-club, or battle-axe. The cuts will show its usual form.Of salvation - That is, “of the hope of salvation;” for so it is expressed in the parallel place in 1 Thessalonians 5:8. The idea is, that a well-founded hope of salvation will preserve us in the day of spiritual conflict,... read more
