Ephesians6:11

11. Put on the whole armour of God , that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Get your selves furnished with every Grace, that none be wanting in you, no part naked and exposed to your enemies.

i. e. Not carnal but spiritual, and given by God, see 2 Cor. 10.3, 4. and 1 Thess. 5.8.

Either to fight, or rather to overcome. He that loses the Victory is said to fall; he that gains it, to stand, see Psal. 89.43.

The Devil useth Arts, and Strategems, as well as force and violence, and therefore if any part of your spiritual armour be wanting he will Assault you where he finds you weakest.

Marginal references: Rom. 13.12. 2 Cor. 6.7.
