This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Eph 6:14. [103] Περιζωσάμενοι, being girt about) that you may be unencumbered [ready for action]. Comp. Luk 12:35; Exo 12:11; Isa 5:27.-τὴν ὀσφὺν ὑμῶν ἐν ἀληθείᾳ, your loins with truth) according to the example of the Messiah, Isa 11:5.-ἐνδυσάμενοι τὸν θώρακα τῆς δικαιοσύνης-καὶ τὴν περικεφαλαίαν τοῦ σωτηρίου) having put on the breastplate of righteousness-and the helmet of salvation. Isa 59:17, And He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and placed the helmet of salvation on His head. The seat of conscience is in the breast, which is defended by righteousness.-τῆς δικαιοσύνης, of righteousness) Isaiah 11 already quoted. For often truth and righteousness are joined, ch. Eph 5:9. The enemy is to be vanquished by all things contrary to his own nature.
[103] Στῆναι, to stand, for the sake of fighting, Eph 6:14.-V. g.
