Put on the full armor of God The phrase "Put on" in the Greek is "ἐνδύσασθε" (endysasthe), which implies a deliberate and conscious action. It suggests that believers must actively choose to equip themselves with what God provides. This is not a passive reception but an intentional act of preparation, akin to a soldier donning his gear before battle. The "full armor" indicates completeness, leaving no part of the believer unprotected. Historically, Roman soldiers wore comprehensive armor to ensure their safety in battle, and Paul uses this imagery to convey the necessity of being fully prepared spiritually. The "armor of God" signifies divine provision, emphasizing that the strength and protection come from God, not from human effort. so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes To put on the "armour of God"--given us, that is, by God--is declared (by comparison of Romans 13:12; Romans 13:14) to be to "put on the Lord Jesus Christ." Hence its completeness corresponds to the divine perfection of His true humanity. We are "to grow up unto Him in all things" (Ephesians 4:15), to put on His image in all the harmony of "truth" and "righteousness," of "peace" and "faith," to receive and use His "salvation" and wield the spiritual energy of His "Word." . . . Verse 11. - Put on the entire amour of God. Chained to a soldier, the apostle's mind would go forth naturally to the subject of amour and warfare. Put on amour, for life is a battle-field; not a scene of soft enjoyment and ease, but of hard conflict, with foes within and without; put on the amour of God, provided by him for your protection and for aggression too, for it is good, well-adapted for your use, - God has thought of you, and has sent his amour for you; put on the whole amour of God, for each part of you needs to be protected, and you need suitable weapons for assailing all your foes. That ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Our chief enemy does not engage us in open warfare, but deals in wiles and stratagems, which need to be watched against and prepared for with peculiar care.Parallel Commentaries ...
