Ephesians 6:14
Compare all
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—

Ephesians 6:14

Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt. He next gives the armor that must be worn. The Roman soldier wore a girdle, breast-plate, shoes with iron nails, a helmet to protect his head, and carried a great shield on his left arm which was thrown in front of his body. His weapon was the sword. It was with the sword, not the spear as other nations, that the Romans conquered the world. And these represent parts of the Christian's spiritual armor. Girt about with truth. The girdle kept the armor in place and supported the sword. So truth holds the Christian armor and supports the sword of the Spirit. Having on the breastplate of righteousness. The breast-plate was over the lungs and heart. If Christ's righteousness is over our hearts, they can hardly suffer harm. Compare and see PNT "1Th 5:8".
