Ephesians 6:16
_ _ Above all — rather, “Over all”; so as to cover all that has been put on before. Three integuments are specified, the breastplate, girdle, and shoes; two defenses, the helmet and shield; and two offensive weapons, the sword and the spear (prayer). Alford translates, “Besides all,” as the Greek is translated, Luke 3:20. But if it meant this, it would have come last in the list (compare Colossians 3:14).
_ _ shield — the large oblong oval door-like shield of the Romans, four feet long by two and a half feet broad; not the small round buckler.
_ _ ye shall be able — not merely, “ye may.” The shield of faith will certainly intercept, and so “quench, all the fiery darts” (an image from the ancient fire-darts, formed of cane, with tow and combustibles ignited on the head of the shaft, so as to set fire to woodwork, tents, etc.).
_ _ of the wicked — rather “of the EVIL ONE.” Faith conquers him (1 Peter 5:9), and his darts of temptation to wrath, lust, revenge, despair, etc. It overcomes the world (1 John 5:4), and so the prince of the world (1 John 5:18). |
Ephesians 6:16
Above or over all — As a sort of universal covering to every other part of the armour itself, continually exercise a strong and lively faith. This you may use as a shield, which will quench all the fiery darts, the furious temptations, violent and sudden injections of the devil. |
