Berean Standard Bible

“Pray in the Spirit at all times, with every kind of prayer and petition. To this end, stay alert with all perseverance in your prayers for all the saints.”

Ephesians 6:18

Save as image

Study note

After describing the pieces of the armor of God, Paul adds prayer, not as another piece but as the atmosphere in which the whole armor is worn. He goes on in verses 19 and 20 to ask for prayer for himself, that he might speak the gospel boldly even in chains.
