以弗所書 6:14 Meaning and Commentary

Ephesians 6:14

Stand therefore
Keep your ground, do not desert the army, the church of Christ, nor his cause; continue in the station in which you are placed, keep your post, be upon your watch, stand upon your guard:

having your loins girt about with truth;
by which is meant the Gospel, and the several doctrines of it; see ( Ephesians 1:13 ) ( 4:15 ) ; and to have the loins girt with it, shows, that it should be near and close to the saints, and never departed from; and that it is a means of keeping them close to God and Christ, and of strengthening them against the assaults and attacks of Satan; and is of great use in the Christians' spiritual conflict with their enemies; the girdle is a part of armour, and so considerable as sometimes to be put for the whole, ( Isaiah 5:27 ) ; and here it is mentioned in the first place:

and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
in allusion to ( Isaiah 59:17 ) , meaning not works of righteousness done by men, though these are a fence when rightly used against the reproaches and charges of the enemy, as they were by Samuel, ( 1 Samuel 12:3 ) , but rather the graces of faith and love, ( 1 Thessalonians 5:8 ) , though faith has another place in the Christian armour, afterwards mentioned; wherefore it seems best to understand this of the righteousness of Christ, which being imputed by God, and received by faith, is a guard against, and repels the accusations and charges of Satan, and is a security from all wrath and condemnation.

以弗所書 6:14 In-Context

12 因 我 們 並 不 是 與 屬 血 氣 的 爭 戰 （ 原 文 作 摔 跤 ； 下 同 ） ， 乃 是 與 那 些 執 政 的 、 掌 權 的 、 管 轄 這 幽 暗 世 界 的 ， 以 及 天 空 屬 靈 氣 的 惡 魔 爭 戰 。

13 所 以 ， 要 拿 起 神 所 賜 的 全 副 軍 裝 ， 好 在 磨 難 的 日 子 抵 擋 仇 敵 ， 並 且 成 就 了 一 切 ， 還 能 站 立 得 住 。

14 所 以 要 站 穩 了 ， 用 真 理 當 作 帶 子 束 腰 ， 用 公 義 當 作 護 心 鏡 遮 胸 ，

15 又 用 平 安 的 福 音 當 作 預 備 走 路 的 鞋 穿 在 腳 上 。

16 此 外 ， 又 拿 著 信 德 當 作 籐 牌 ， 可 以 滅 盡 那 惡 者 一 切 的 火 箭 ；
