F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Ephesians 6:1-12

Children and Parents; Servants and Masters Ephesians 6:1-12 Where our religion is true, it will affect every relationship in life. The love of Christ must find its manifestation in nursery and in kitchen, in workshop and in municipal chamber. But notice that its duties are reciprocal. We must give on our side, just as we expect others to give on theirs. The first duty of children is obedience. They must be taught to obey because it is right, and their conscience bears witness to the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ephesians 6:1-24

The teaching now turned to the next relationship of importance in the Christian household-the relationship of parents and children. Children are to yield obedience, and thus be set free from all care and anxiety. When the period of childhood passes, obligation does not cease. They are still to honor father and mother. The responsibility of parents is referred to only with regard to the father. Thus the apostle emphasized that the chief responsibility for training a child should rest with the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ephesians 6:10

‘Finally, be made powerful in the Lord and in the strength of his might.’ Our only hope for the future and our only means of victory against an implacable enemy is to be ‘made powerful in the Lord’, to enjoy and experience the strength of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is His mighty strength within us by His indwelling that will enable us to overcome all obstacles. And as we walk in love (Ephesians 5:2), and in light (Ephesians 5:8), (both are necessary), this power will be at work in us. Love is... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ephesians 6:10-20

The Armour of God and the Battle That Lies Ahead (6:10-20). Having given general teaching Paul now closes the letter with a reminder that we are in a spiritual battle and need to take the proper precautions. The letter opened with a description of God’s eternal action in redeeming His own, all brought about by His sovereign purpose, it ends with our responsibility to arm ourselves for battle against the Foe. We have our part to play too. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ephesians 6:11-12

‘Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.’ The armour does not fall on us, we have to put it on. We cannot defeat the enemy by our own efforts but we can put on the armour, the armour of truth, of righteousness, of faith, of His word,... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ephesians 6:10-20

Ephesians 6:10-Proverbs : . The Spiritual Warrior and the Armour of God.— For the rest, the Christian must be strong in the Lord, equipped with God’ s armour, in face of the devil’ s wiles. He wrestles, not against mere human foes, but against the dæ monic powers and principalities who are the rulers of this dark and wicked world; against the evil spiritual agencies in the heavenly sphere. Against such, if he is to stand in the day of evil, his armour must indeed be the armour of God— his... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ephesians 6:10

Be strong; or, strengthen yourselves; i.e. be courageous, and constant in the practice of your duty, against the devil and all his assaults. In the Lord: not in yourselves, but in the Lord Jesus Christ, in whom your strength lies, and from whom by faith you may obtain it: see Philippians 4:13; 2 Timothy 2:1. And in the power of his might; or mighty power, see Ephesians 1:19; q.d. Though your own strength be but weakness, yet Christ’s power is mighty, and he can communicate enough to you. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ephesians 6:11

Put on the whole armour; get yourselves furnished with every grace, that none be wanting in you, no part naked and exposed to your enemies. Of God; i.e. not carnal, but spiritual, and given by God: see 2 Corinthians 10:3,2 Corinthians 10:4; 1 Thessalonians 5:8. That ye may be able to stand; either to fight, or rather to overcome. He that loses the victory is said to fall; he that gains it, to stand: see Psalms 89:43. Against the wiles of the devil: the devil useth arts and stratagems, as well... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ephesians 6:10-12

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESEphesians 6:10. Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.—In Ephesians 1:19 the phrase “power of His might” is reversed. See note there.Ephesians 6:11. The whole armour.—“The panoply.” “A complete suit of armour.” The wiles of the devil.—A craftily designed plan of attack.Ephesians 6:12. For we wrestle.—We need not suppose a transference of the metaphor. It may describe the hand-to-hand fight in which equally matched opponents refuse to back an inch.... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Ephesians 6:1-24

Ephesians 6:0 I. The Apostle compares the struggles of a Christian against the enemies of his soul to the warfare of a soldier against the enemies of his country. What are the spiritual truths, the Christian graces, typified by these outward weapons? (1) The Christian's girdle is truth. To be sincere and earnest in our purpose, to have the heart engaged in the work, and the will turned honestly to the love of Christ, is the great security for consistent perseverance in the warfare against His... read more
