The individual pieces of the armor and their use: v. 14. Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness, v. 15. and your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace; v. 16. above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the Wicked. v. 17. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God; v. 18. praying always with all prayer... read more

Honor thy father and [thy]2 mother; which is the first commandment with promise; 3That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. 4And, ye fathers, provoke [or fret] not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture [discipline] and admonition of the Lord.EXEGETICAL AND CRITICALThe precept for children; Ephesians 6:1-3.Ephesians 6:1.

EPHESIANS THE PANOPLY OF GOD Eph_6:13 The military metaphor of which this verse is the beginning was obviously deeply imprinted on Paul’s mind. It is found in a comparatively incomplete form in his earliest epistle, the first to the Thessalonians, in which the children of the day are exhorted to put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. It reappears, in a slightly varied form, in the Epistle to the Romans, where those whose salvation is nearer than... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Ephesians 6:14

EPHESIANS ‘THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS’ Eph_6:14 There can be no doubt that in this whole context the Apostle has in mind the great passage in Isaiah 59 where the prophet, in a figure of extreme boldness, describes the Lord as arming Himself to deliver the oppressed faithful, and coming as a Redeemer to Zion. In that passage the Lord puts on righteousness as a breastplate-that is to say, God, in His manifestation of Himself for the deliverance of His people, comes forth as if arrayed in... read more

EPHESIANS A SOLDIER’S SHOES Eph_6:15 Paul drew the first draft of this picture of the Christian armour in his first letter. It is a finished picture here. One can fancy that the Roman soldier to whom he was chained in his captivity, whilst this letter was being written, unconsciously sat for his likeness, and that each piece of his accoutrements was seized in succession by the Apostle’s imagination and turned to a Christian use. It is worth noticing that there is only one offensive weapon... read more

EPHESIANS THE SHIELD OF FAITH Eph_6:16 There were two kinds of shields in use in ancient warfare-one smaller, carried upon the arm, and which could be used, by a movement of the arm, for the defence of threatened parts of the body in detail; the other large, planted in front of the soldier, fixed in the ground, and all but covering his whole person. It is the latter which is referred to in the text, as the word which describes it clearly shows. That word is connected with the Greek word... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Ephesians 6:17

EPHESIANS ‘THE HELMET OF SALVATION’ Eph_6:17 We may, perhaps, trace a certain progress in the enumeration of the various pieces of the Christian armour in this context. Roughly speaking, they are in three divisions. There are first our graces of truth, righteousness, preparedness, which, though they are all conceived as given by God, are yet the exercises of our own powers. There is next, standing alone, as befits its all-comprehensive character, faith which is able to ward against and... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Ephesians 6:18

EPHESIANS ‘THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT’ Eph_6:18 We reach here the last and only offensive weapon in the panoply. The ‘of’ here does not indicate apposition, as in the ‘shield of faith,’ or ‘the helmet of salvation,’ nor is it the ‘of’ of possession, so that the meaning is to be taken as being the sword which the Spirit wields, but it is the ‘of’ expressing origin, as in the ‘armour of God’; it is the sword which the Spirit supplies. The progress noted in the last sermon from subjective graces... read more
