(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
take ... of God - not “make,” God has done that: you have only to “take up” and put it on. The Ephesians were familiar with the idea of the gods giving armor to mythical heroes: thus Paul’s allusion would be appropriate.
the evil day - the day of Satan’s special assaults (Eph 6:12, Eph 6:16) in life and at the dying hour (compare Rev 3:10). We must have our armor always on, to be ready against the evil day which may come at any moment, the war being perpetual (Psa 41:1, Margin).
done all - rather, “accomplished all things,” namely, necessary to the fight, and becoming a good soldier.
