Stand…having…your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace.THERE are many things which the art of war has rendered necessary for the success of an army, besides those rude weapons which an untaught savage would employ: and though they may be of inferior and subordinate use, still the want of them may prove as fatal as the want of things that are of primary importance.

Take..…the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.THE Christian’s warfare is principally of the defensive kind; yet not so entirely, but that he must follow up the advantages which he has at any time gained, and seek the utter destruction of those enemies which infest his soul: after sustaining their assaults, he must himself become the assailant; having resisted the world and sin, he must proceed to overcome [Note: 1 John 5:4.],... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ephesians 6:1-24

Therefore love them, as they love you; and honour them with reverence and filial obedience.... read more
