Verse 10
"Finally" means "For the rest" and introduces what remains for the readers to do. "Be strong" is a passive or middle imperative in the Greek text. It probably meant both "allow the Lord to strengthen you" (passive) and "strengthen yourself in the Lord" (middle; cf. 1 Samuel 30:6). It is the Lord who provides the power in both cases. The theme of power introduced earlier in this epistle recurs here (cf. Ephesians 1:19-20; Ephesians 2:1; Ephesians 3:16-21). Three different words for power in this verse, all of which appear in Ephesians 1:19, remind us that the Lord’s might is available to us in our spiritual warfare.
"’The strength of his power’ is a striking use of two words for might. There is probably no great difference in meaning here, but the combination puts emphasis on the importance of the divine power at work in believers." [Note: Morris, p. 201.]
This may be a figure of speech meaning powerful strength. A hendiadys is the expression of a single complex idea by joining two substantives with "and" rather than by using an adjective and a substantive. Another example of this figure is "the sacrifice and service of your faith" (Philippians 2:17), which means the sacrificial service of your faith.
