Ephesians 6:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Ephesians 6:14

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against ^aprincipalities, against powers, against ^bthe rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

13 ^aTherefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand ^bin the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, ^ahaving girded your waist with truth, ^bhaving put on the breastplate of righteousness,

15 ^aand having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 above all, taking ^athe shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

17 And ^atake the helmet of salvation, and ^bthe sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

18 ^apraying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, ^bbeing watchful to this end with all perseverance and ^csupplication for all the saints—

19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, ^athat I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,

20 for which ^aI am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

A Gracious Greeting

21 But that you also may know my affairs and how I am doing, ^aTychicus, a beloved brother and ^bfaithful minister in the Lord, will make all things known to you;

22 ^awhom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our affairs, and that he may ^bcomfort your hearts.
