Ephesians 6:10-12
What is written? (ESV)
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
What does it say?
Finally, be strong in the Lord and His power. Wear all of God’s armor so that you can stand against all of Satan’s devices. Because we’re not at war against other people, but against spiritual forces that have power over the present darkness and evil in the heavenly places.
What is its immediate context?
Paul’s letter to the church in Ephesus gives encouragement and instruction. He has just instructed on household relationships and speaks specifically to wives (5:22-24), to husbands (5:25-33, 6:4), to children (6:1-3), and finally to the master-servant relationship (6:5-9).
