John Wesley

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Ephesians 6:10

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.Brethren — This is the only place in this epistle where he uses this compellation. Soldiers frequently use it to each other in the field.Be strong — Nothing less will suffice for such a fight: to be weak, and remain so, is the way to perish.In the power of his might — A very uncommon expression, plainly denoting what great assistance we need as if his might would not do, it must be the powerful exertion of his might. read more

John Wesley

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Ephesians 6:11

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.Put on the whole armour of God — The Greek word means a complete suit of armour. Believers are said to put on the girdle, breastplate, shoes; to take the shield of faith, and sword of the Spirit.The whole armour — As if the armour would scarce do, it must be the whole armour. This is repeated, verse13, because of the strength and subtilty of our adversaries, and because of an "evil day" of sore trial... read more

John Wesley

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Ephesians 6:12

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.For our wrestling is not only, not chiefly, against flesh and blood - Weak men, or fleshly appetites.But against principalities, against powers — The mighty princes of all the infernal legions. And great is their power, and that likewise of those legions whom they command.Against the rulers of the world — Perhaps... read more

John Wesley

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Ephesians 6:13

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.In the evil day — The war is perpetual; but the fight is one day less, another more, violent. The evil day is either at the approach of death, or in life; may be longer or shorter and admits of numberless varieties.And having done all, to stand — That ye may still keep on your armour, still stand upon your guard, still watch and pray; and thus ye will be enabled to... read more

John Wesley

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Ephesians 6:14

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;Having your loins girt about — That ye may be ready for every motion.With truth — Not only with the truths of the gospel, but with "truth in the inward parts;" for without this all our knowledge of divine truth will prove but a poor girdle "in the evil day." So our Lord is described, Isaiah 11:5. And as a girded man is always ready to go on, so this seems to intimate an obedient heart, a... read more
