Ephesians 6:10–18: The Armor of God
Ephesians 6:10–18 reframes spiritual attack: the fight is real, but it is not chiefly against people. God supplies the whole armor, and the command is to put it on, keep standing, and pray.

Ephesians 6:10–20: Principalities and Powers
Ephesians 6:10–20 redirects spiritual warfare away from suspicion of people and toward standing firm in what God supplies. Every piece of the armor is something the gospel has already secured, and the passage ends by turning the battle into prayer.

Ephesians 6:10–18: Stand in God's Armor
Paul's armor is God's provision, not the believer's technique, and the command is to stand and withstand rather than to attack. Prayer runs through the whole posture, so the equipment is worn in constant dependence.
