Ephesians 6 Bible study: Strong in the Lord

The letter's last turn begins, "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might" (6:10), and behind the strength of his might are the same three Greek words as in the prayer of chapter 1 (1:19). The letter that opened "Grace to you and peace" (1:2) closes with peace (6:23) and grace (6:24).

Favor is a Bible study app that explains every chapter as you read: the words behind the words, what most readers miss, and how it all leads to Jesus.

“In Ephesians 6:19 the letter asks its readers, "Pray for me".”

Is that in Ephesians 6, or not? Make your call.

What's really going on

Children, and you fathers

In the text

The letter's last chapter opens, "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right." (6:1). It goes on with words the WEB prints in quotation marks, "Honor your father and mother," (6:2), and calls them "the first commandment with a promise" (6:2). The words after it stand in quotation marks too: "that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth." (6:3) (tap live long). The letter names no passage for these words. Then: "You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." (6:4). The verses say "in the Lord" (6:1) and "of the Lord" (6:4) and don't say there whom they mean; these notes don't either. They give the verses as they stand, and apply them to no one's family or home today.

The Greek word behind it

πανοπλίαpanopliasay pan-op-LEE-ah

Strong's: "full armor". "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." (6:11): behind whole armor is this one noun. Ephesians has it twice (in all eight editions TAGNT compares): here, and two verses on in "Therefore put on the whole armor of God" (6:13). The WEB gives it as whole armor both times.
