Ephesians 611

Ephesians 6:11 is a verse from the New Testament of the Christian Bible, found in the Epistle to the Ephesians. The verse reads, "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." This passage is part of a larger section (Ephesians 6:10-18) where the Apostle Paul exhorts believers to prepare for spiritual warfare. The metaphor of spiritual armor is used to encourage Christians to be vigilant and prepared against spiritual attacks. The phrase "whole armour of God" (παντοκράτορος, pantokratoros in Greek) signifies the comprehensive protection and strength provided by God. In Hebrew, the concept can be translated as שִׁרְיוֹן ה' (shiryon Adonai), meaning "the armor of the Lord." Other relevant translations include la armadura de Dios in Spanish, l'armure de Dieu in French, and die ganze Rüstung Gottes in German. Contextually, this verse emphasizes the need for spiritual readiness and reliance on God's power to resist evil and maintain faith.
