Ephesians 6:14
_ _ Stand — The repetition in Ephesians 6:11, Ephesians 6:14, shows that standing, that is, maintaining our ground, not yielding or fleeing, is the grand aim of the Christian soldier. Translate as Greek, “Having girt about your loins with truth,” that is, with truthfulness, sincerity, a good conscience (2 Corinthians 1:12; 1 Timothy 1:5, 1 Timothy 1:18; 1 Timothy 3:9). Truth is the band that girds up and keeps together the flowing robes, so as that the Christian soldier may be unencumbered for action. So the Passover was eaten with the loins girt, and the shoes on the feet (Exodus 12:11; compare Isaiah 5:27; Luke 12:35). Faithfulness (Septuagint, “truth”) is the girdle of Messiah (Isaiah 11:5): so truth of His followers.
_ _ having on — Greek, “having put on.”
_ _ breastplate of righteousness — (Isaiah 59:17), similarly of Messiah. “Righteousness” is here joined with “truth,” as in Ephesians 5:9 : righteousness in works, truth in words [Estius] (1 John 3:7). Christ’s righteousness inwrought in us by the Spirit. “Faith and love,” that is, faith working righteousness by love, are “the breastplate” in 1 Thessalonians 5:8. |
Ephesians 6:14
Having your loins girt about — That ye may be ready for every motion. With truth — Not only with the truths of the gospel, but with "truth in the inward parts;" for without this all our knowledge of divine truth will prove but a poor girdle "in the evil day." So our Lord is described, Isaiah 11:5. And as a girded man is always ready to go on, so this seems to intimate an obedient heart, a ready will. Our Lord adds to the loins girded, the lights burning, Luke 12:35; showing that watching and ready obedience are the inseparable companions of faith and love. And having on the breastplate of righteousness — The righteousness of a spotless purity, in which Christ will present us faultless before God, through the merit of his own blood. With this breastplate our Lord is described, Isaiah 59:17. In the breast is the seat of conscience, which is guarded by righteousness. No armour for the back is mentioned. We are always to face our enemies. |
