Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ephesians 6:11

_ _ the whole armour — the armor of light (Romans 13:12); on the right hand and left (2 Corinthians 6:7). The panoply offensive and defensive. An image readily suggested by the Roman armory, Paul being now in Rome. Repeated emphatically, Ephesians 6:13. In Romans 13:14 it is, “Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ”; in putting on Him, and the new man in Him, we put on “the whole armor of God.” No opening at the head, the feet, the heart, the belly, the eye, the ear, or the tongue, is to be given to Satan. Believers have once for all overcome him; but on the ground of this fundamental victory gained over him, they are ever again to fight against and overcome him, even as they who once die with Christ have continually to mortify their members upon earth (Romans 6:2-14; Colossians 3:3, Colossians 3:5).

_ _ of God — furnished by God; not our own, else it would not stand (Psalms 35:1-3). Spiritual, therefore, and mighty through God, not carnal (2 Corinthians 10:4).

_ _ wiles — literally, “schemes sought out” for deceiving (compare 2 Corinthians 11:14).

_ _ the devil — the ruling chief of the foes (Ephesians 6:12) organized into a kingdom of darkness (Matthew 12:26), opposed to the kingdom of light.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ephesians 6:10-18.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ephesians 6:11

Put on the whole armour of God — The Greek word means a complete suit of armour. Believers are said to put on the girdle, breastplate, shoes; to take the shield of faith, and sword of the Spirit. The whole armour — As if the armour would scarce do, it must be the whole armour. This is repeated, Ephesians 6:13, because of the strength and subtilty of our adversaries, and because of an "evil day" of sore trial being at hand.
