Ephesians 6:11
Put on the whole armour of God. The ancient soldier was not
equipped for war until he had put on his armor. Paul was at that time a
prisoner, probably living near the praetorian camp in Rome, as he was
by the Roman customs under the charge of the praetorian prefect. It is
possible that the figure was suggested by the sights he so often
witnessed. See PNT "1Th 5:8".
That ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. The
great enemy. The armor was designed not only to protect, but there were
weapons also with which to assail him.
