Ephesians 6:17
Compare all
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.

Ephesians 6:17

Ephesians 6:17 Take the helmet of salvation. The Roman soldier wore on his head a metallic cap to protect it from blows, called a helmet. Isaiah 59:17 says: "He put a helmet of salvation on his head". See also I Thessalonians 5:8. Salvation, the consciousness that we have a Savior "able to save unto the uttermost" (Hebrews 7:25). And the sword of the Spirit. The armor before described is to protect; the sword to assail. It is the Christian soldier who is to wield the sword of the Spirit. That is, the Spirit conquers through him. The word is the word of God. Thus Peter conquered on Pentecost, and Paul in his labors. Thus always and everywhere. The Christian soldier filled with the Spirit must "preach the word". See Hebrews 4:12.
