Berean Standard Bible

“Therefore take up the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground, and having done everything, to stand.”

Ephesians 6:13

Save as image

Study note

Paul closes Ephesians by explaining that the Christian struggle is not against human enemies but against spiritual forces of evil. He draws on the image of a Roman soldier's equipment to teach how to stand firm.
